Engineer-physicist Stoil Ivanov holds a Bachelor's Degree in Engineering Physics from the Faculty of Physics at Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski". In 2017 he completed his Master's Degree in Aerospace Engineering and Communication with the subject "Stabilization and Analysis of the Attitude of a Constellation of Small Satellites". This topic ignites further his interest in the field of orbital dynamics, design of orbits and systems for propulsion of spacecraft. Since 2018 Stoil Ivanov is a PhD student in the Department of Radiophysics and Electronics at the Faculty of Physics at Sofia University and is working on his dissertation on "Electrothermal Plasma Thruster for Small Satellites". He is part of the team implementing the project "Electrothermal Microwave Plasma Thruster for Bulgarian Nano-Satellites". Stoil Ivanov is co-founder of the Association "SAT-1 Initiative" (sat-1.com), which seeks to support the aerospace sector in Bulgaria through the implementation of practical projects and the dissemination of the acquired experience and knowledge among young Bulgarian scientists with an interest in the field.
