Biography

Sanja Miskovic received her Ph.D. in minerals engineering from Virginia Tech in 2011. Her expertise encompasses modeling, optimization, and control of multiphase processes. Miskovic's research focuses on computational and experimental fluid dynamics, particularly in complex multiphase systems across macro, meso, and micro scales. Currently, her research group works on developing and utilizing advanced measurement techniques for multiphase flow characterization and process diagnostics. The work aims to explore the relationships between energy input, flow dynamics, machine design, and process efficiency in particulate processing units. Prior to joining the University of British Columbia's Norman B. Keevil Institute of Mining Engineering, she was part of the faculty at the University of Utah in the Department of Metallurgical Engineering, where her teaching efforts were recognized with the Outstanding Teacher Award. Additionally, she received the University of Utah Beacons of Excellence Award for creating transformational experiences that empower students.
