Biography
Dr. Radenka Maric is a Professor of Sustainable Energy at the University of Connecticut. She received her Ph.D. in Material Science and Energy in March 1996 from the Kyoto University, Japan. Dr. Maric joined the University of Connecticut in 2010. Before joining the University of Connecticut, Dr. Maric was a Group Leader and Program Manager at the National Research Council of Canada’s Institute for Fuel Cell Innovation (2004-10) and an Adjunct Professor at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver (2008-10). Earlier in her career, she was a Program Manager at nGimat (formerly MicroCoating Technologies, 2001-04) and a Senior Scientist and Team Leader at the Japan Fine Ceramics Center, Nagoya, Japan (l996-01). Dr. Maric has published more than 150 scientific papers in the fields of nanomaterials processing, thin film deposition, material coatings, fuel cells and batteries. Her current research interests lie in fundamental understanding of the effect of structure, defects, and microstructure on transport and electrical properties of surfaces and interfaces. She has developed various atomization methods for thin film and nanoparticles generation, including aerosol synthesis, high-energy mechanical milling, sonochemical synthesis, self-propagating high-temperature synthesis, sol-gel and flame based processes. Dr. Mar was awarded a Visiting Professor fellowship in 2012 from the Tokyo University of Science. She also serves on many national and international scientific committees.
