He is often referred by the Russian version of his name, Nikolay Ivanovich Muskhelisvili
In 1914 he graduated from the St. Petersburg University (Russia). In 1917-1920 Muskhelishvili was Assistant Professor of this University, in 1920-1922 - Associate Professor of the Tbilisi State University (TSU), in 1922-1976 - a Professor of TSU, in 1941-1972 - first President of the Georgian SSR Academy of Sciences, in 1972-1976 - Honorary President of GAS.
