Dr. Darko Kosanović at the Materials Research Center (Missouri S&T, Rolla, USA).
Dr. Darko Kosanović, Principal Research Fellow, stayed at the Missouri University of Science and Technology, USA, as a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Prof. Dr. William Fahrenholtz. During his one-year stay (2022-2023), he participated in a project funded by the U.S. Air Force (FA9550-22-1-0064: Hypersonic Materials Production Program, U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research, led by Dr. Scott McCormack, University of California, Davis).
As a visiting scientist, he was part of the Ultra-High Temperature Ceramics Research Group under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Fahrenholtz. He was involved in research in two areas: the densification and characterization of zirconium diboride ceramics and the analysis of the mechanical properties of zirconium diboride ceramics. His project tasks also included training in the use of various characterization instruments and mechanical testing for ultra-high temperature ceramics. Special attention was paid to hot pressing.
