NEDYU DIYANOV NEDEV is a Senior Assistant (Chief Assistant Professor) at the Technical University - Gabrovo, working in the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Electronics within the Department of Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering and Power Engineering. He has been with the university since 2010 and holds a Doctorate in Technical Sciences with a focus on sensor technology. Education: Graduated from the State University of Applied Sciences - "P. Volov" in Shumen in 2001, majoring in "Communication Engineering and Technology" Doctoral studies from December 2011 to September 2014 at the Technical University - Gabrovo in the scientific specialty "Elements and Devices of Automation and Computing" Doctoral dissertation: "Ceramic and Layer Sensors for Humidity and Temperature" NEDYU DIYANOV NEDEV's research primarily focuses on sensor technology , particularly in the development and characterization of humidity and temperature sensors. His work spans multiple areas including thin film technology, materials science, and electrical measurements. He has made significant contributions to the understanding of how different materials and doping elements affect sensor performance, with a particular emphasis on metal oxide-based sensors using titania, silica, and various dopants like cerium, zinc, vanadium, and bismuth. His research also extends to piezoelectric transformer-based sensors and environmental monitoring systems. An analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals a consistent research trajectory focused on humidity sensing elements. His work demonstrates a progression from fundamental material studies to practical sensor system development. The majority of his publications deal with thin film humidity sensors using various metal oxide combinations, with a particular focus on titania-silica composites. His research has evolved to address practical challenges such as temperature compensation in humidity sensors and the development of mathematical models for sensor characteristics. Recent work shows increasing sophistication in material composition, incorporating graphene and multi-element doping to enhance sensor performance. Professional Activities and Teaching: Teaches laboratory exercises in Electrical Measurements and Measurement of Non-Electrical Quantities Teaches seminar exercises in Theoretical Electrical Engineering I and II Also teaches specialized courses in Occupational Safety, Technical Safety of Explosive Production Facilities, and Fire Protection Requirements NEDYU DIYANOV NEDEV has successfully supervised four diploma works, demonstrating his commitment to student mentorship and education. His advisees have worked on practical safety applications including fire safety in administrative buildings, inspection of fire safety in commercial facilities, technical safety in marine environments, and automotive service safety.
