Ipsa scientia potestas est!

2000 – 2004 PhD, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK.
I obtained my PhD from the Newcastle University Centre for Process Analytics and Control Technology (CPACT), School of Chemical Engineering and Advanced Materials, UK.
My research addressed the mechanistic modelling and simulation of free radical polymerisation on a Spinning Disc Reactor (SDR). The chemistry underpinning the thesis was the free radical polymerisation of styrene with benzoyl peroxide as initiator.
Throughout my PhD studies I was a holder of the University of Newcastle Development Trust Bursary (2000) and Overseas Research Students (ORS) Award (2001-2004) both awarded for academic excellence.

1991 – 1997 BSc, University of Belgrade, Serbia.
I graduated from the Faculty of Technology and Metallurgy, University of Belgrade with a degree in Chemical Engineering, specialised in Organic Chemical Technology and Polymer Engineering (First Class Honours).
During my studies I received a number of recognitions for excellent performance including the ‘Panta Tutundzic’ award. For my accomplishments in 1995 I was rewarded with an International Association for the Exchange of Students for Technical Experience (IAESTE) training session that took place over three months in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Campinas, Brazil.
For the final project of the degree I carried out experimental and theoretical research into the thermal degradation of poly(iso‑butyl methacrylate) and poly(sec‑butyl methacrylate). Publishing this research as an undergraduate student was a significant achievement.
At the end of my undergraduate studies I received a commendation for being the best student in the Organic Chemical Technology Department with an average grade of 9.45 (94.5%).
For exceptional achievements during undergraduate studies in 1998 I was awarded a Special Award of the Serbian Chemical Society, which is the highest recognition an undergraduate student can receive.

During primary and secondary education I demonstrated an interest beyond the school curriculum in a number of subjects. I won various competitions and received a number of additional awards and diplomas including the ‘Mika Petrovic Alas’ Award for excellent performance in the fields of mathematics, chemistry and physics.

1979- 1987 Primary School "Zikica Jovanovic Spanac", Valjevo, Serbia.
In Serbia primary (compulsory) education lasts for eight years. It starts at the age of six or seven and is divided into two cycles, each one lasting four years. Prior to these cycles, a preparatory educational period of one year is mandatory.
