Kostadin IvanovDr Ivanov is a member of the US DOE national validation canter (NEKVaC) and the NEA/OECD Expert Group on Multi-Physics Validation (EGMPEBV), and coordinator of the IAEA Coordinated Research Program on HTGR Uncertainty Analysis in Modelling (UAM). In ddition, he is coordinator and leader of six international NEA/OECD benchmark activities - US NRC/OECD PWR MSLB benchmark, US NRC/OECD BWR TT benchmark, DOE/CEA/OECD VVER CT benchmark, OECD/NEA VVER-1000 Kalinin-3 benchmark, OECD/NEA PBMR-400 benchmark, and NRC/OECD BWR Oskarshamn-2 Stability benchmark. He has more than 25 years' expertise and experience in verification, validation and uncertainty quantification of multi-physics modeling of nuclear reactors, with more than 60 peer-reviewed papers in this area in journals and proceedings of international conferences. He is one of the developers and instructors of a residential and distance education graduate level course entitled "Verification, Validation and Uncertainty Quantification in Multi-Physics Nuclear Reactor Analysis" at PSU and NCSU, which is also taught internationally as a one-week short course Read More Read Less
