Honorary doctorate 2022: Professor of electrical engineering Milica Stojanovic (Faculty of Natural Sciences and Faculty of Technical Sciences)
Professor Milica Stojanovic from Northeastern University, USA, is one ofthe world’s leading experts in acoustic underwater communication. Her research has made it possible to transfer data at high speeds under water, so that submersible vessels can coordinate and transfer data on topics such as aquaculture, ecosystems and wastewater.
Research into underwater communication is a vital part of our endeavour to better understand climate change, and it is in this context that Milica Stojanovic’s research plays an essential role.
Milica Stojanovic has strong ties to Aarhus University, where she collaborates with researchers from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering on underwater communication. This collaboration has resulted in both patents and publications, and it is likely that it will also be extended to other departments.
