Biography:
Prof. Dr. Eng. George R. Ivanov is currently the best-funded scientist from the Bulgarian NSF Prof. Dr. Eng. George R. Ivanov has an M.Sc. in engineering physics (1987) from the Faculty of Physics of the #1 Uni in Bulgaria – Sofia University. Deputy-Rector for Science was his head – TCSPC fluorescence in the IR sub-nanosecond kinetic measurements of AIIIBV semiconductors; PhD from the Institute of Solid State Physics – Bulg. Acad. Sci. – LB films instrumentation and DPPE-NBD structure and applications (2003) with consultant the youngest
Academician Prof. D.Sc. Alexander G. Petrov. He registered his first company Advanced Technologies Ltd. in 1994 and sold an LB system in the Lab of our recent Prime Minister Acad. N. Denkov in 1995, then penetrated with his LB systems and patch-clamp amplifiers the Japanese (Distributor – Seiko Instruments), Korean, and Italian markets since 1996-97. In 2009 he moved to his current second-oldest and #1-rated technical university in Bulgaria (UACEG). Founder and Head of the University (reporting directly to the Rector) Nano Lab since 2016. Owner (70%), CEO, and CTO of NanoBioSence Ltd. with 4 other top professors in BG, and Nanonics Ltd. Currently has the best-equipped LB technological and Research Lab in the world, which is further upgraded with an epifluorescence wide-field Zeiss microscope, equipped with an Andor sensitive camera with super-resolution capabilities and PicoQuant TCSPC Fluorescence Kinetics channel – first and only in the world.
