Dr. Miladin Radovic, professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and director of the Materials Characterization Facility at Texas A&M University, has been awarded the prestigious Global Star Award by the Engineering Ceramics Division of The American Ceramic Society.
The American Ceramic Society is a professional community of global leaders in the field of ceramics and glass. The society is made up of more than 11,000 professionals from more than 70 countries.
An announcement regarding the Global Star Award was made during the 44th International Conference and Exposition on Advanced Ceramics and Composites (ICACC) on Jan. 27 in Daytona Beach, Florida.
The award recognizes active volunteers and their contributions to the Engineering Ceramics Division and ICACC and has been given to distinguished individuals annually since 2010.
“I am truly privileged to receive this distinguished award,” said Radovic. “It is a great honor to be recognized by The American Ceramic Society for contributions to the Engineering Ceramics Division."
Radovic’s research focuses on the processing of advanced structural and multi-functional ceramics for extreme environments and their thermal and mechanical properties. His research group has been working on the development of several different ceramics materials, including MAX phases and their 2D derivatives (MXenes), solid-state ionics and geopolymers.
