Patricia Jovičević Klug is a researcher focused on sustainable solutions for critical raw materials, enabling clean energy, semiconductors, and advanced technologies. Her work integrates chemistry, physics, surface science, cryogenics, and catalysis to advance extraction, recycling, and material optimization. She has contributed to hydrogen plasma, induction, and bioleaching extraction, efficient oxide processing via plasma reduction, and cryogenic material processing. She holds two patents in thermochemical metal-oxide catalysis and has co-invented advanced AFM surface systems for in-situ magnetic, electrical, and functional measurements. Her focus is energy-efficient, selective, and circular processing strategies, including ammonia-based and unified catalytic approaches, driving real-world impact toward a resilient, sustainable future.
