Research summary
AI-generated

Ivan C. Christov works on fluid dynamics, especially how fluids interact with flexible or deformable structures such as soft microchannels, thin films, and porous conduits. His research combines mathematical theory, simulation, and some experiments to understand phenomena like flow-induced deformation, pressure drop, and rectification (asymmetric flow response) in small-scale channels, as well as granular (particle-based) flows. Prospective students would likely engage in applied-math-heavy fluid mechanics research involving both analytical modeling and computational or experimental validation.
