Professor Milivoje Kostic

Milivoje Kostic (a.k.a. M. Kostic or Milivoje M. Kostic; in Serbian Cyrillic: Миливоје Костић, pronounced as [Milivoye Kostich]), Ph.D., P.Eng., is a Serbian-American Thermodynamicist and Professor Emeritus of Mechanical Engineering at Northern Illinois University, Professional Engineer in State of Illinois (USA) and Section First Editor-in-Chief of Thermodynamics (2015-2024) of Entropy Journal. Professor Kostic is a notable researcher and scholar in energy fundamentals and applications, including nanotechnology, with emphasis on conservation, environment and sustainability. He graduated with the University of Belgrade highest distinction (the highest GPA in ME program history), obtained Ph.D. at University of Illinois at Chicago as a Fulbright scholar (in less than 3 years; Professor James P. Hartnett, advisor), appointed as NASA faculty fellow, and Fermi and Argonne National Laboratories faculty researcher. Professor Kostic also worked in industry and has authored a number of patents and professional publications, including invited articles in prestigious energy encyclopedias. He has a number of professional awards and recognitions, is a frequent keynote plenary speaker at international conferences and at different educational and public institutions, as well as member of several professional societies and scientific advisory boards.

“Nothing occurs locally, nor globally in the universe, without mass-energy exchange/conversion accompanied with unavoidable heat generation and irreversible entropy production.
It is crystal-clear (to me) that all confusions related to the far-reaching fundamental Laws of Thermodynamics, and especially the Second Law (Abstract & FULL paper (*), are due to the lack of their genuine and subtle comprehension.” - M. Kostic
