A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject. (May 2020) |
As of 2015, Kostic has been the Section Editor-in-Chief of the Thermodynamics Section of the journal Entropy, published by MDPI,[3][4] having previously been a Guest Editor of two special issues on Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics.[5][6]
Kostic has also worked in industry and has authored a number of patents and professional publications, including invited articles in professional encyclopedias.[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]
Professor Kostic was appointed as NASA faculty fellow, and Fermi and Argonne National Laboratories faculty researcher. 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.[1][18] Entransy concept and controversies
Kostic is interested in the fundamental laws of nature,[19] thermodynamics and heat transfer fundamentals and applications,[1][18] and especially the Second law of thermodynamics and entropy.,[3][4][5][6][7][8][12] see also arXiv e-prints. He has developed a collaboration with Tsinghua and other Chinese universities.[20] Kostic wrote about Entransy concept and controversies,[21] and is editing an Entropy special Issue, Nature of heat and entropy, as well as a Topical collection, Foundations and Ubiquity of Classical Thermodynamics.
Kostic has raised some critical issues regarding the challenges of the
More recently Professor Kostic wrote a comprehensive treatise, written for the special occasion of the author’s 70th birthday. It presents his lifelong endeavors and reflections with original reasoning and re-interpretations of the most critical and sometimes misleading issues in thermodynamics.[25]
