Interview with Mercator Fellow Ivan Yotov

Our SFB 1313 Mercator Fellow Ivan Yotov from the University of Pittsburgh (USA) visited SFB 1313 and SimTech of the University of Stuttgart from May to July 2023. During his two-month research stay, he gave the colloquium "Mathematical and computational modeling of fluid-poroelastic structure interaction" and the short course "Discretization methods for multiphysics couplings".

Ivan Buntic, SimTech doctoral researcher at the Department of Hydromechanics and Modelling of Hydrosystems of the University of Stuttgart, had the great pleasure to interview him about his stay and his research aims. Find the audio interview below!
