John R. Sladek is a researcher affiliated with the University of Colorado Denver in the United States. Their work spans multiple fields, including Engineering and Neuroscience, with particular subfields in Control and Systems Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Political Science and International Relations, Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience, and Biomaterials.

Their research covers several topics, notably:

  • Smart Grid Security and Resilience
  • Combustion and Detonation Processes
  • Nuclear Issues and Defense
  • Nerve Injury and Regeneration
  • Electrospun Nanofibers in Biomedical Applications
  • Autism Spectrum Disorder Research
  • Pluripotent Stem Cells Research

Recent publications illustrate the interdisciplinary nature of their research. These include:

  • "Development of a New IEC Technical Report on Cybersecurity Risk Management for I&C and ES in Nuclear Power Plants," 2021, published in the 12th Nuclear Plant Instrumentation, Control and Human-Machine Interface Technologies (NPIC&HMIT 2021)
  • "Comparison of Fetal Mesencephalic Grafts, AAV-delivered GDNF, and Both Combined in an MPTP-induced Nonhuman Primate Parkinson's Model," 2020, published by UNC Libraries
  • "Human Neural Stem Cells Survive Long Term in the Midbrain of Dopamine-Depleted Monkeys After GDNF Overexpression and Project Neurites Toward an Appropriate Target," 2020, published by UNC Libraries

Frequent co-authors who have collaborated with Sladek on various projects include D. Eugene Redmond, Csaba Léránth, Michael Rowland, Edward Quinn, and Caleb R.S. McEntire.

Their work has been disseminated primarily through venues such as UNC Libraries and the 12th Nuclear Plant Instrumentation, Control and Human-Machine Interface Technologies conference. These platforms reflect a blend of engineering and biomedical research contexts.
