Roman Zapatrin possesses expertise in mathematics, linux, teaching, physics, mathematical modeling and 2 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "– A mind like Roman's is invaluable to the future of scientific progress. His work to redefine the fabric of spacetime itself from purely mathematical foundations is more act of creation than incremental advance. The raw tools which he has forged from Nature have proven indispensable in addressing previously intractable research problems, and his insights have shown to be remarkably prescient in accelerating new directions of research." and "Roman was the awe-inspiring emperor of number crunching at our Starlab at the time we were mentioned in one breath with MIT and Parc. He made us see that, although, our questions were useful, they may lead to answers that our minds are no longer able to comprehend as we can only process a limited number of small equations at the same time."
