Ever since I had the conscience, I have been eagerly interested in understanding the fundamentals of complex systems and its functioning. The Master’s degree in physical chemistry which I obtained at the University of Belgrade (Serbia) I deem as a very useful utensil in grasping the complexity of surrounding biological systems.
During my studies I was involved in the spectroscopic investigation of ancient pottery in order to reconstruct the production technology and determine the composition of used pigments.
Currently, I am a PhD student on a “Low Salt project“ at Nofima Mat in Ås, Norway. My work shall mostly be the investigation of the interaction between water, proteins and salt in systems with low content of salt. Among the used techniques are FTIR, ATR, Raman spectroscopy, low field NMR, but the emphasis is on finding new techniques, which could be also be used.
