Ms. Ivanova is completing her Ph.D. dissertation in the Geoenvironment and Geotechnology group at MIT on "Geologic and Stochastic Modeling of Fracture Systems in Rocks". In her research, she developed the geometric-mechanical 3D hierarchical model, and studied rock fracture systems, created by various geologic mechanisms. Ms. Ivanova has developed a software on UNIX platform, and applied the numerical model for simulation of fracture networks in oil-producing sedimentary rocks in the Yates Field Unit in Texas.
