Prof. Alojz Ivankovic
Alojz Ivankovic is Full Professor of Mechanics of Materials in University College Dublin. His research group focus is on the process-structure-property relationship towards materials by design, which involves multi-scale characterisation and modelling of thermo-mechanical, damage and fracture behaviour and nano-modification and tailor design of polymers, composites, adhesives, super-hard and additively manufactured materials. His track record includes: i) 418 publications (151 journal, 7 book chapters, 260 conference), ii) 33 graduated PhDs, 50 + MSc students, 24 past PostDocs including 2 Marie Curie Research Fellows, iii) Awarded over €45M research funding (~€10M as PI and ~€35M as co-PI).
Area of expertise: Fracture, Modelling, Polymers, Composites, Adhesives
