Brief Bio

Dr. Radenka Maric became the 17th President of the University of Connecticut on September 28, 2022, after serving as interim president. She is also a Board of Trustees Distinguished Professor in Sustainable Energy with appointments in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering. 

In July 2025, she announced changes to the senior leadership team, including the departure of the Executive Vice President for Finance and CFO and an interim appointment for Vice President for Finance. In addition, Dr. Maric has a background as UConn's Vice President for Research, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship. Her research interests include materials for energy applications and biosensors, and she developed the Reactive Spray Deposition Technology (RSDT). She has patents, publications, and has secured significant research funding.
