Emilija Nidžović is a second-year PhD student in Chemistry at the Faculty of Technology and Metallurgy, University of Belgrade. She obtained her BSc (2018) and MSc (2021) degree at the Faculty of Mining and Geology, University of Belgrade, where she also worked as a Teaching Assistant during 2022. Since January 2023, she has been employed as a Junior Researcher at the Department of Materials at the Vinča Institute of Nuclear Sciences, University of Belgrade. Emilija’s thesis focuses on the synthesis, characterization and potential applications of high-entropy spinel oxides. Thanks to the JECS Trust, she got the opportunity to stay at the Institute of Inorganic Chemistry, Slovak Academy of Sciences, Bratislava, for three months (November 2023 - February 2024) and gain invaluable knowledge and experience in advanced ceramics research. Emilija is an associate of the Center for the synthesis, processing and characterization of materials for use in extreme conditions “CEXTREME LAB” within the Vinča Institute of Nuclear Sciences, University of Belgrade. She is also a part of the organizational committees of the Conference of the Serbian Society for Ceramic Materials and the International Conference on Innovative Materials in Extreme Conditions. Starting from 2024, Emilija will be working on a project of the Ministry of Science, Technological Development and Innovation of the Republic of Serbia and German Academic Exchange Service (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst – DAAD) titled “Unlocking the Potential of Spinel-Type High-Entropy Oxides for Energy-Related Applications”. Furthermore, she will be the YCN representative of Serbia, which she is very much looking forward to!
