Biography

Aleksandra Vojvodic is a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, where she leads the Vojvodic Lab focused on theoretical computational-driven materials design. Her lab employs computational frameworks to understand surface interface properties of complex materials, contributing to the development of theoretical models for chemical transformations and energy conversion. Vojvodic's innovative work includes predicting new materials for catalytic reactions, which have been experimentally synthesized and validated. She has published over 90 papers in prominent journals, such as Science and Nature Communications. Her expertise has earned her roles such as Associate Editor for ACS Catalysis and recognition as a Trottier Foundation Fellow. Previously, she was a staff scientist at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, where she led research on oxide surface reactivity. Vojvodic has also held positions as a postdoctoral scholar in Sweden and at Stanford University, receiving her Ph.D. in Physics from Chalmers University of Technology and a Master of Science from Lund University. Her research interests encompass catalysis, reaction engineering, energy environmental engineering, and molecular simulation thermodynamics, with a mission to leverage machine learning for future material development.
