About Ljubisa R. Radovic
After three years as a Penn State doctoral student (c/o Phil Walker), one year as a postdoctoral associate (c/o Al Vannice), and thirty-six years as a faculty member, Ljubisa Radovic retired on December 31, 2022, to pursue his many non-academic passions. He is widely recognized as one of the world’s greatest experts on the surface properties and behavior of carbon materials and carbonaceous fuels. In addition to renewing his lifelong interests in opera, chess, and classic novels (in many languages, especially Spanish), he is working on a carbon omnibook, which may yet turn out to be his magnum opus.
