Research Interests
Dr. Drozdenko’s work centres on magnesium-based alloys, with particular emphasis on their microstructural evolution and mechanical behaviour. She combines scanning/transmission electron microscopy (SEM, TEM, EBSD, EDX), in-situ deformation testing and acoustic-emission monitoring to unravel deformation mechanisms such as slip, twinning and detwinning. A further focus is the development of high-strength, high-ductility alloys via rapid solidification and the role of Long-Period Stacking Ordered (LPSO) phases.
Publication Profile
Her recent papers highlight a consistent drive toward structure–property optimization in dilute Mg-Zn-Y and Mg-Al systems, employing advanced in-situ diffraction and acoustic-emission techniques to quantify deformation kinetics under varying loading conditions.
Scientific Awards & Recognition
- 2020 – Young Scientist Award, ThermoFisher & Czechoslovak Microscopy Society
- Editorial board member, Journal of Alloys and Compounds (Elsevier)
Student Supervision & Funding
Dr. Drozdenko currently supervises bachelor and master theses at Charles University and serves as a consultant for students at Kumamoto University, Japan. She has been Principal Investigator of a junior Czech Science Foundation grant (2020–2022) and a Charles University student grant (2014–2016), and is an active member of multiple further GACR projects since 2012.
Laboratories & Collaborations
Her research is embedded in a well-equipped electron-microscopy laboratory (room F116, Ke Karlovu 5, Prague). She maintains long-standing international collaborations with the Magnesium Innovation Center (MagIC) at Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht, the Magnesium Research Centre at Kumamoto University, NTNU Trondheim and CENIM-CSIC Madrid.
