BIOGRAPHY
|
|
Dragan Damjanovic was born in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia / Bosnia and Herzegovina. He received his diploma (summa cum laude) in physics at the University of Sarajevo in 1980. From 1982 to 1987 he worked as a research assistant at Materials Research Laboratory (MRL), The Pennsylvania State University (PSU), USA, where he was awarded PhD in Ceramics Science in 1987 for his work on lead-titanate based materials for piezoelectric transducer applications. From 1987 to 1988 he worked at the Materials Research and Development Center - CIRM, Energoinvest Corp., Sarajevo. He joined again MRL at PSU in 1988 where he stayed until 1991, working on pyroelectric properties of synthetic polypeptides, piezoelectric properties of relaxor ferroelectrics, and ceramics-polymer composites, with emphasis on medical and underwater applications. In 1991, he joined the Ceramics Laboratory, Institute of Materials, at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology-EPFL. He works in the field of the piezoelectric, dielectric and ferroelectric properties of ceramics, single crystals, thick and thin films, and their applications. He was appointed lecturer in 1995, Privat Docent in 1999, adjoint scientifique in 2001, senior scientist/MER in 2006 and adjunct professor in 2008. He presently teaches undergraduate and graduate courses on electrical properties of materials and organizes experimental exercises on ceramics properties. He teaches a course on piezoelectric and ferroelectric materials at the EPFL’s doctoral school. He has authored more than 170 publications and two patents. In the last ten years he participated in or directed a dozen of Swiss and European projects. He was awarded ISIF outstanding achievement award in 2007, Ferroelectrics Recognition Award of the IEEE UFFC Society in 2009, was elected a Fellow of IEEE in 2009, and will serve as a distinguished lecturer of the IEEE Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics and Frequency Control Society in 2010/11. More details can be found on his personal internet page given above.
