About

Dr. Liljana D. Zivanov is a distinguished researcher in the field of inductive sensor design and simulation, with a particular focus on precision displacement measurement for robotics applications. Her work centers on the development of planar inductive sensors capable of detecting sub-millimeter displacements—less than 0.5 mm—in a plane, a critical capability for high-accuracy robotic positioning and control. Her most cited paper, "Displacement inductive sensor: Simulation tool algorithm" (2009, 5 citations), introduces a comprehensive simulation tool algorithm that streamlines the design, realization, and input inductance measurement of such sensors. A key contribution is the sensor’s ability to detect displacement in two orthogonal directions using a single planar structure, enhancing efficiency and reducing complexity. While her citation count reflects a focused, specialized impact, her work provides foundational tools and methodologies for engineers and researchers advancing inductive sensing technologies. Dr. Zivanov’s contributions are particularly valuable for students and practitioners in mechatronics and automation, offering practical simulation-based approaches to sensor development.
