Young Ceramics Networks
YCN representative - Slovenia
Ivana Goričan
YCN representative for the Slovenian Ceramic Society
Jožef Stefan Institute
My name is Ivana Goričan and I am a young researcher working in the Electronic Ceramics Department at the Jožef Stefan Institute in Slovenia. I am currently a 2nd year PhD student at the Jožef Stefan International Postgraduate School in a Sensor technologies programme. I obtained my BSc and MSc in Chemistry at the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology at the University of Maribor. The BSc and MSc theses were in the fields of process systems engineering and coordination chemistry, respectively.
My current research activities are mainly dedicated to the processing and characterization of lead-based ceramic materials in bulk form and as thick films – for the latter, screen-printing and aerosol deposition techniques are used. My focus is on the preparation of multifunctional materials for energy storage and for multicaloric, i.e. electrocaloric and magnetocaloric, applications.
I am very honoured to be the YCN representative of Slovenia. I look forward to contributing to the growth of the ceramics network and expanding our collective knowledge in this dynamic field.

Turning Waste into Raw Materials for the Ceramic Industry.
Waste materials were once seen as a burden but are increasingly being redefined as valuable resources for ceramic production. Through advances in materials engineering, waste can be used as secondary raw materials in the ceramic industry. This shift enables more circular and resource-efficient ceramic manufacturing systems.

Implementing 3D-Printed Technical Ceramics in Regulated Medical Fields.
Bringing a new manufacturing technology into medicine requires far more than producing an impressive component. In highly regulated fields, innovation must be translated into repeatable processes, documented quality, reliable materials and, ultimately, evidence of clinical value. Lithoz has spent more than a decade building this bridge for Lithography-based Ceramic Manufacturing (LCM).
