Anka Trajkovska Petkoska, PhD, is an Associate Professor at Faculty of Technology and Technical Sciences, Veles at University St. Kliment Ohridski, Bitola, R. Macedonia. She graduated at Chemical Engineering Department, University of Rochester, Rochester, NY (USA) in 2007. Her work was dedicated on polymer cholesteric liquid crystalline materials made into particulate forms and their use for particle display technologies. During her PhD graduate work she was granted with two US Patents related to: i) polymer cholesteric liquid crsytals shaped in tailored micro-particles by use of soft lithography technique, and ii) composites based on polymer cholesteric liquid crystals and different types of conductive and non-conductive dopants with micro- and nano-structures to improve dielectric properties of the base material. In 2008 she published the book entitled as: Polymer Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Flakes – Their Electro Optic Behaviour for Potential E-Paper Application (Verlag Dr. Muller, Germany). In 2015 she edited a book New Developments in Liquid Crystals Research. Trajkovska Petkoska obtained her MSc at Faculty of Technology and Metallurgy, University St. Cyril and Methodius in Skopje, R. Macedonia where she got her BSc, as well. Her work was on polymers, polymer blends and composites. Nowadays, Trajkovska Petkoska is active participants in the field of materials science particularly in novel advanced materials based on polymers, surface engineering of polymers, nanocomposites and thin film applications. She participates in several EU projects (Framework Programme FP7 projects, Eureka project as well as bilateral projects)..
