Maja Kuzmanović - 在职教师 - 塑料高性能化加工与装备课题组

Dr. Maja Kuzmanović is an associate professor at College of Polymer Science and Engineering, Sichuan University, China.

She achieved her academic degree in Chemical Engineering at the Faculty of Technology and Metallurgy, University of Belgrade, Serbia in 2012. At the same faculty, in 2013, she obtained her first master’s degree in Materials Engineering. After that, dr. Kuzmanović received a scholarship to study her second master at the University Carlos III of Madrid, Spain, where her field of study was focused on biopolymer-based nanoparticles. In January 2015, she joined Ghent University where she did her PhD and worked as a Teaching Assistant. She obtained her PhD in materials engineering at the Centre of Polymer and Material Technologies (CPMT) at Ghent University within the field of microfibrillar composites with a focus on the relationship between processing, structure, and properties. During her PhD journey, she was granted to attend the immersion program at the State Key Laboratory, at Sichuan University, Chengdu, China. Furthermore, she spent six weeks at University Minho, in Portugal as a visiting scientist, specialising in polarised optical microscopy and Raman spectroscopy.

Her areas of expertise are (1) fundamentals in polymer processing; (2) synthesis of QDots, and (3) processing-structure-property relationships in polymer composites. She has published 10 papers as the first or corresponding author, with the citation score more than 150 times.
