Sergey [Sergei] Ivanov is a physicist specializing in nonlinear optics, topological photonics, and nonlinear wave dynamics. He was born on April 30, 1994, in Moscow, Russia.
He received his B.Sc. (2015) and M.Sc. (2017) degrees in Physics from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT), where he studied at the Faculty of Problems of Physics and Energy. During his undergraduate and graduate studies, he conducted research at the Institute of Spectroscopy of the Russian Academy of Sciences (ISAN) under the supervision of Prof. A. M. Kamchatnov and Prof. Y. V. Kartashov, developing expertise in nonlinear wave phenomena and photonic systems.
From 2017 to 2021, Dr. Ivanov pursued doctoral studies at MIPT and ISAN, where he carried out research within the Theoretical Department's Nonlinear Physics Group. In 2021, he successfully defended his Ph.D. thesis entitled "Dispersive Shock Waves in Nonlinear Optics, Bose–Einstein Condensates, and Other Systems." His doctoral research focused on the fundamental physics of nonlinear wave propagation, solitons, and dispersive shock waves
From January 2022 to 2024, Dr. Ivanov was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO), Barcelona, Spain, working in the Nonlinear Optical Phenomena Group led by Prof. Lluís Torner. His research at ICFO focused on nonlinear and topological phenomena in photonic lattices and waveguide arrays, with particular emphasis on solitons, topological photonics, nonlinear wave dynamics, and novel optical states of matter.
Since 2024, Dr. Ivanov has been working as a Postdoctoral Researcher with Prof. Albert Ferrando at the University of Valencia, Spain, where he continues his research on topological photonics, topological insulators, nonlinear optics, and nonlinear wave phenomena. His current work combines theoretical and computational approaches to explore the interplay between topology and nonlinearity in photonic systems.
Dr. Ivanov's research interests span a broad range of topics, including:
-Nonlinear physics and nonlinear dynamics
-Nonlinear optics and photonics
-Topological photonics and topological insulators
-Solitons and localized wave phenomena
-Dispersive shock waves
-Bose–Einstein condensates
-Wave propagation in structured media
-Computational and numerical methods in physics
He has authored more than 40 peer-reviewed publications in leading international scientific journals and continues to contribute to the development of modern nonlinear and topological photonics.
