X close

Mariana Calin is currently associate professor and Metallic Biomaterials Group leader at the Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research Dresden (IFW Dresden), Germany. Prior to joining IFW Dresden in 2006, M. Calin was a faculty member at the Materials Science & Physical Metallurgy Deparment, University Politehnica of Bucharest, Romania. Mariana Calin has been awarded the prestigious Humboldt Research Fellowship (1996-1998, Dortmund University) provided by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. In 2010 she received the Institute for Complex Materials Research Prize for her work on titanium-based biomaterials. Her primary interests are in the phase transformations and mechanical behavior of metallic materials, with focus on Ti-based biomaterials, metallic glasses and nanostructured alloys. M. Calin has co-authored over 90 publications in peer-reviewed journals including the Acta Materialia, Scripta Materialia, Applied Physics Letters, and has delivered many presentations on her research at international conferences. She has ample experience with large-scale European research projects.

BIO of Jean-Marie Dubois

X close

Jean-Marie Dubois owns a PhD in Physics from Polytechnic National Institute, Nancy, France, a Dr Hon. Causa from Iowa State University,USA and another from Federal University of Paraiba, Brazil. He is a former overseas fellow of Churchill College, Cambridge, U.K. and a professor at Dalian University of Technology, China. He was recently elected as Honorary Member of Jozef Stefan Institute in Ljubljana, Slovenia. He is a member of Lorraine Science Academy and correspondent of Stanislas Academy, Nancy, France. Distinguished Director of Research at CNRS, France, he chairs the professional committee of CNRS that is dedicated to materials chemistry, nanomaterials and processing.
His research topics have revolved around metal physics and engineering of complex metallic materials. He is the author of more than 250 scientific articles in refereed journals, 14 international patents, and 7 books. After establishing structure models for metallic glasses and quasicrystals, Prof. Dubois became interested in applied properties of these materials: heat insulation, low adhesive properties and infrared light absorption, cold-welding and solid-solid adhesion in vacuum of Al-based complex intermetallics against steel. His general interest is on understanding the surface energy of those materials and their scaling properties in relation to their electronic structure and crystal lattice complexity.

Prof. Kristina Zuzek Rozman, Jozef Stefan Institute, Department for nanostructured Materials, Ljubljana, Slovenia.
She is the leader of the Electrochemical sensing and Nanostructured Magnetic Materials group. She defended her PhD in Rare Earth Elements- REEs-permanent magnets in 2004. After the PhD she has undertaken the post-doc training on IFW, Institute for Solid state and materials research in Dresden, Germany in the thematic of electrodeposition of permanent magnetic materials. She has 20 years’ experience working in REEs permanent magnets and 10 years of experience in electroplated nanostructured soft and hard magnetic materials, recently also on chemical and physical recycling and reprocessing of REE-based magnetic materials. She successfully supervised several PhDs and diploma theses with ongoing 5 PhDs in the field of permanent magnets and electrochemistry (she is habilitated on Jozef Stefan IPS for a course of electrochemistry and electrochemical sensing. She is involved in several national and EU projects (coordinated FP7 project NSFM) FP7 ROMEO, NANOPYME and H2020 ReproMAG, H2020 ETN Marie Curie DEMETER and H2020 SUSMAGPRO, all of them based on nanostructured materials for sensing applications and magnetic materials in correlation with the electrodeposition and novel reprocessing towards REEs waste free circular economy. Her bibliography contains 65 scientific papers, several invited lectures, and two patents on permanent magnets applications and recycling techniques.
