Goran Mijic

Goran Mijic studied German, history of technology, and media culture in Hamburg, Germany and Salt Lake City, USA. He obtained his M.A. from the University of Hamburg in 1999 and Ph.D. from the University of Utah in 2005.

His first book "Evolution der Kommunikationsmedien/Technik und kultureller Wandel in Edgar Reitz' Heimat" offers an excursion through the history of communication media and technology in 20th-century Germany.

As the governments, businesses, and society are shifting towards necessary sustainable energy production and consumption alternatives, Mijic’s research focuses on the arriving solar energy era, resulting in the creation of the dictionary: "Solar Energy and Technology: Volume 1 / English-German Dictionary / Deutsch-Englisch Wörterbuch". This comprehensive bilingual set covers all key technologies from photovoltaic technology, nanophotovoltaics, solar materials, thermal systems to energy storage, applications of solar power, hybrid power systems, infrastructure, economics, and much more.

Mijic’s upcoming book "Solar Energy and Technology: Volume 2 / Encyclopedia" continues where Volume 1 left off. It encourages communication within the field, incorporating all concepts of state-of-the-art solar technologies, and includes essential terms for alternative and sustainable energy technologies. It offers concise, clear, and accurate explanations for each term, keeping the meaning in focus and providing the context in which terms are used. The full cross-referencing between entries widens the semantic scope of terms and provides helpful links for further exploration.
