2009 - Present EPSRC Career Acceleration Fellow, Newcastle University, UK.
Whilst working in the HTT group I began to study the palladium-catalysed phenylacetylene oxidative carbonylation (PCPOC) reaction and achieved reproducible oscillations in both pH and heat output. Furthermore I discovered the ability of oscillations to influence chemical selectivity. My efforts in this area resulted in a five year EPSRC Career Acceleration Fellowship awarded in July 2009.
From October 2009 until the present I have been advancing research on my project named "Powering smart materials by oscillatory chemical reactions".
2005 - 2009 Research associate, Head of the High Throughput Technologies lab, Newcastle University, UK.
Until 2008 I worked on the EPSRC project: Extending High Throughput Technologies (HTT) to Chemical Process Development, led by Professor Allen Wright. Through close collaboration with the Chemistry Departments at Durham and Leeds Universities this project provided an important bridge between synthetic organic chemistry and chemical engineering product and process research and development, leading to final production.
With a long-term view of a career in academia I completed a two part course on Teaching and Learning in Higher Education and gained Associate status of the Higher Education Academy in 2008.
From January 2009 until October 2009 I was involved with the design and implementation of case based learning activities for the chemical engineering undergraduate courses within the School of Chemical Engineering and Advanced Materials.
At the same time I commenced teaching undergraduates two Modules: Processing for Purpose and Mass Transfer Processes.
During this time I was involved with consulting services.
2005 Visiting member of staff, Newcastle University, UK.
From January to March 2005 I was employed as a visiting member of staff at Newcastle University to use my expertise at the chemistry-chemical engineering interface and management skills to set up a high throughput technologies laboratory and to commission the equipment.

1997-2000 Pharmaceutical Industry, Hemofarm, Vrsac, Serbia.
Upon graduation I worked for three years in the pharmaceutical industry at Hemofarm, Vrsac, Serbia. Hemofarm is an international pharmaceutical company with over four decades of experience in drug production.
There I was promoted to the position of Head of Packaging and Packaging Maintenance Department of the Solid Forms Plant with over hundred workers reporting directly to me. During this time I significantly improved the efficiency of a number of packaging lines by engineering foils used in blister packs.
I am a holder of the David Begg Associates (DBA) pharmaceutical validation certificate. DBA is Europe’s biggest and best known provider of pharmaceutical training.
