Biography

Ivan currently works at the University of Southampton in a fixed-term ‘Senior Research Assistant’ role within the School of Mathematical Sciences, funded by the Faraday Institution. His research involves a highly interdisciplinary approach combining computational mathematics, numerical methods, computer science, physics, and chemistry. Ivan's primary focus is on investigating the physical and chemical mechanisms that govern battery cell performance, specifically through the development and implementation of high-performance codes to solve physics-based mathematical models for lithium-ion batteries. His work aims to create a robust and fast computational framework to understand and optimize the physical, geometrical, and chemical characteristics of batteries. One of the significant outcomes of Ivan's research is a unique software code that differentiates itself through its ability to solve problems in a timely fashion, even as the number of unknown variables increases within very large systems. This code can accurately address complex thermal-electrochemical models of multi-layered pouch cylindrical cells, which is invaluable for manufacturers seeking to optimize battery design and performance in real-world environments.
