BIO

Ivana Smičiklas has graduated at the Chemical Faculty and got the Ph.D. degree at the Faculty of Technology and Metallurgy (University of Belgrade, 2007). She was employed at the Radiation and Environmental Protection Department at Vinča Institute of Nuclear Sciences in 1995 and ever since participates in the national and international scientific projects. At present (2011-2019), she is a principal investigator of the sub-project in the scope of the Integral Interdisciplinary Research Project “Advanced technologies for monitoring and environmental protection from chemical pollutants and radioactive contamination” (Grant No. III43009) funded by the Ministry of Science of the Republic of Serbia. She was a principal investigator in the bilateral project between the Republic of Serbia and the Republic of Croatia (2016-2017), a participant in bilateral projects with the Republic of Montenegro (2016-2018, 2019-2020), and in the IAEA Coordinated Research Project (CRP) 14159/RO (2008-2010). She was a mentor of tree doctoral dissertations defended at the University of Belgrade. As an invited reviewer, she reviewed the scientific papers for more than twenty international journals. She is an organizer and active participant in science promotion and popularization projects and manifestations. The scientific output includes 55 papers in the international peer-reviewed journals, two book chapters and over 65 presentations at national and international conferences. So far, the publications were cited more than 1200 times excluding self-citations (h index-15). The research focus is on environmental chemistry, pollution control, soil science, material science, water treatment, soil remediation, and waste treatment and recycling.
