Dr.-Ing. Tanja Vidakovic-Koch is head of the Electrochemical Energy Conversion Group at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems in Magdeburg, Germany. She studied chemical engineering at the Faculty of Technology and Metallurgy in Belgrade, Serbia, and received her PhD from Otto von Guericke University (OVGU) in Magdeburg, Germany.
The focus of her research is on the development and analysis of various electrochemical processes. Some examples are hydrogen chloride electrolysis, electroenzymatic processes, low temperature fuel cells and water electrolysis. Her other focus is the development of advanced electrochemical methods for monitoring and diagnosing various electrochemical processes. Examples include non-linear and concentration-frequency response analyses. She also lectures on fuel cell technology and electrochemical process engineering at OVGU.
