KOSTADIN N. IVANOV, Ph.D.
DISTINGUISHED PROFESSOR
DEPARTMENT OF NUCLEAR ENGINEERING
NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY
• Fellow, American Nuclear Society (ANS) • Chair, Working Party on Reactor Systems, Nuclear Science Committee, Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA), Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) • Member, Advisory Board of the Nuclear Engineering Program at the University of Florida • Member, Scientific Advisory Committee of Division of Nuclear Energy and Safety at the Paul Scherrer Institute, Switzerland
The technical expertise of Prof. Dr. Ivanov is in computational multi-physics multi-scale modeling and simulations for nuclear reactor design evaluations, nuclear power plants safety analyses, and regulatory confirmatory applications. Prof. Dr. Ivanov has more than 40 years of professional experience in the nuclear power industry, research organizations, and academia. He earned his Ph.D. degree in reactor physics from the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences in 1990. Before joining North Carolina State University in 2015, he held several research and academic positions in the USA (Pennsylvania State University), Germany (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf), and Bulgaria (Institute of Nuclear Research and Nuclear Energy, Technical University of Sofia, and Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant).
During his tenure as a Department Head of Nuclear Engineering at NCSU (08/15/2015 – 09/13/2024) Dr. Ivanov has grown the department by about twice since 2015 in terms of the number of tenure-track/tenured faculty and graduate students. Currently, the department is the largest nuclear engineering department in the country. Under his leadership, the Nuclear Engineering Graduate Program ranking by US News and World Report improved from eighth to third place in the USA, and this advanced ranking has been sustained for 6 years. Currently, it is one of the highest-ranking graduate programs at NCSU, sustained for several consecutive years. Dr. Ivanov has led the expansion of Nuclear Engineering Distance Education and the transformation of the Nuclear Engineering Undergraduate Program. He is a member of the Leadership/Steering Committee of the NCSU taskforce conducting a state-supported feasibility study on establishing an advanced research and test reactor on campus as well as is a member of the Leadership/Steering Committee of the NCSU on feasibility study on building industry supported Malt salt Test loop and Tank on campus.
Prof. Dr. Ivanov has published his work in over 310 technical articles in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings. Prof. Dr. Ivanov has graduated 108 Master of Engineering, 63 Master of Science, and 45 PhD students. Prof. Dr. Ivanov‘s teaching activities, over the last 22 years, have been focused on introducing, improving, and teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in nuclear reactor physics analysis, design, and safety, which are keystones of the nuclear engineering education. He has taught in total of 100 classes for resident students and forty-three 45 classes for continuing (distance) education. Prof. Dr. Ivanov has been able to maintain continuous diverse research support from national and international government agencies, national laboratories, industry, consulting companies, and other universities. He has been a principal investigator and co-principal investigator for more than 105 externally supported projects totaling approximately $20M of external funding. Dr. Ivanov has led 15 international programs supported by NEA/OECD, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and U.S. Department of Energy
