Short Bio 🧑‍🔬

Ivan Tanev Ivanov, born on October 9, 1951, in Samuilovo, Stara Zagora district, is a prominent physicist and professor known for his extensive contributions to medical physics and biophysics. With a career spanning several decades, Ivanov has been instrumental in advancing research in erythrocyte membranology and has published numerous significant scientific works.

Education 🎓

Ivanov graduated from Sofia State University “St. Kliment Ohridski” in 1974 with a degree in Atomic Physics. He further enhanced his expertise by acquiring two additional specialties: “Automatic Control and Regulation” in 1982 and “Medical and Sanitary Physics” in 1988. His commitment to academic excellence culminated in the attainment of two scientific degrees: Doctor of Biology in 1995 and Doctor of Science in 2012.

Experience 🏢

From 1974 to 1976, Ivanov completed military service at the Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant. He then transitioned to the Chemical Plant in Stara Zagora, where he worked until 1984. Subsequently, Ivanov joined Thracian University in Stara Zagora, serving in various capacities within the Faculty of Medicine, including Assistant, Associate Professor (1998), and Professor (2014). He also held the position of Head of the Department of Physics, Biophysics, X-ray, and Radiology from 1998 to 2018.

Research Interests 🔬

Ivanov’s research primarily focuses on erythrocyte membranology, particularly investigating the resistance of erythrocytes to hemolysis induced by acids, bases, and thermal stress. His work delves into the interplay between sphingomyelin content, thermal stability, and the overall lifespan of mammalian erythrocytes. He has made significant strides in understanding dielectric relaxations within the spectrin network of erythrocytes and their implications for cellular interactions and deformability.
