| Klementina Pušnik Črešnar, Assistant Professor, is a researcher at the University of Maribor, affiliated with both the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering.
Her research focuses on the synthesis of nanomaterials and polymer composites, the adsorption of active substances, interaction phenomena, and the characterisation of nanomaterial composites, particularly in relation to their antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. In recent years, her research interests have expanded to include the application of nanomaterials in polymer composites, covering aspects such as synthesis, crystallisation, interfacial phenomena, segment dynamics, degradation mechanisms, and surface properties of thermoplastic nanocomposites. Additionally, she explores textile and cellulose-based chemistry, as well as materials engineering, with a specific focus on thermoplastic composites prepared through (reactive) extrusion. She has extensive knowledge and experience in the structural and surface properties of cellulose-based thermoplastic composites, as reflected in her recent publications. Currently, she is supervising four master’s students and one PhD student within the European Horizon project FoodTranet. Klementina has led both national and European research projects, including the NIAGARA project (H2020), and has served as a Task Leader in the IPPT_TWINN (HORIZON-SCA) project, which focuses on the recycling of polymer composites using Covalent Adaptable Networks (CANs). |
| Dr. Peny Eleni (Female) is a Chemical Engineer, graduate of the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA). She holds a PhD in Thermophysical Properties of Maxillofacial Polymer Materials and has conducted postdoctoral research on the Development of Innovative Cosmetic Products Including Encapsulated Herb-Origin Bioactive Compounds Using the Electrospinning Process. Her research focuses on thermophysical analysis and process design of novel products, including functional food products, food packaging materials, and bioactive compounds isolation. She has collaborated with universities, research centers, public bodies, and technical companies, participating in 25 national and EU-funded research projects as a researcher and technical consultant.
Her expertise includes physical process development and design, database compilation on functional and novel foods, and Life Cycle Assessment of products and processes. Since 2012, she has been a member of the National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Team of NTUA, contributing to Greece’s reporting obligations under the UNFCCC and EU MMR. Since 2022, she has been a member of EXELISIS IKE as a Project Manager. She has authored 23 publications in international peer-reviewed journals, presented 33 announcements at Greek and international conferences, and written three book chapters. |
