Join us in welcoming our new Editorial Board member, Jovana Milić!
We are delighted to welcome Jovana Milić as a new Scientific Editor to Nanoscale Horizons! Jovana’s expertise will support us to better inform editorial decisions on Nanoscale Horizons.
Jovana Milić, University of Turku, Finland
Jovana V. Milić has been an Associate Professor in Materials Chemistry at the University of Turku in Finland since September 2024, leading the Smart Energy Materials group as part of the Sustainable Materials & Manufacturing (SUSMAT) programme. She was an Assistant Professor and Swiss National Science Foundation PRIMA Fellow at the Adolphe Merkle Institute of the University of Fribourg in Switzerland since 2021.
She obtained her Dr.Sc. Degree in the Department of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences of ETH Zurich in 2017, and she was a postdoctoral scientist in the Laboratory of Photonics and Interfaces at EPFL in Switzerland, before establishing an independent academic career in 2020. She is an International Science Council Fellow and a member of the Young Academy of Europe as well as the Swiss and Global Young Academies. Her research focuses on the development of bioinspired supramolecular materials that can respond to external stimuli and adapt to their operating conditions in smart and sustainable (nano)technologies, with a special interest in photovoltaics and neuromorphic systems.
Jovana shared her thoughts on joining the Editorial Board and her interests:
What are you most excited about joining the Editorial Board for Nanoscale Horizons?
I am excited about joining the Editorial Board of Nanoscale Horizons as I look forward to serving the community in highlighting the breakthroughs through conceptual advancements in nanoscience and nanotechnology.
Why should researchers choose to publish their research with the journal?
Nanoscale Horizons provides a unique platform for new concepts or new ways of thinking in nanoscience and nanotechnologies, beyond just technological improvements, and researchers should consider it for highlighting such exceptional high-quality innovations and conceptual breakthroughs.
What aspect of your research interests you the most?
I am especially interested in bioinspired smart materials that are adaptive to the external stimuli in the environment and their application in emerging technologies, such as for renewable energy conversion in new-generation photovoltaics and neuromorphic computing.
When you are not doing research, what do you like to do in your free time?
When not doing research, I am invested in advancing science for policy and diplomacy, and I enjoy spending time with my family, in nature, as well as music and sports.
