Supervisor: Dmitry Gorin
Julijana Cvjetinovic’s academic journey commenced at the University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Science, Serbia where she earned her Bachelor’s degree in Physics, laying down a solid foundation in the principles of the physical world. She expanded her expertise by attaining a Master’s degree in Condensed Matter Physics from the National University of Science and Technology “MISiS” in Moscow, Russia. There, she immersed herself in the complexities of physical chemistry, physics, and materials science, with a special focus on the development of hybrid materials based on natural and synthetic polymers for reconstructive surgery applications.
Driven by an innate curiosity to decode the mysteries of nature, especially those nestled within the complex structures and properties of biological materials, Julijana pursued a PhD in Physics at the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology. Her research is deeply entrenched in the study of diatom algae, specifically their optical and mechanical properties aiming to unravel their enigmatic attributes and harness this knowledge to drive innovation in optical and materials sciences. As a Senior Research Scientist in the Biophotonics laboratory, she continues to pursue her research interests with fervor, seeking to uncover new insights that could lead to scientific breakthroughs.
