Tamara Radetic

Tamara Radetic serves as a Professor in the Department of Metallurgical Engineering at the Faculty of Mining and Metallurgy, University of Belgrade. Her academic career spans over a decade since her election to the scientific advisor position on June 12, 2013. She teaches advanced courses including Characterization of Material Structure, Kinetics of Phase Transformations, Physical Metallurgy, Introduction to Electron Microscopy, and Crystal Structure Defects at the doctoral level.

Professor Radetic's research focuses on physical metallurgy with specialization in aluminum-magnesium alloys, particularly AA5182 and related systems. Her work examines grain structure evolution, phase transformations, thermomechanical processing effects, and corrosion behavior. She employs advanced characterization techniques including electron microscopy to investigate microstructural phenomena at various scales. Her recent work shows increasing interest in nanomaterials and biomaterials applications, particularly silver nanoparticle-loaded hydrogels for medical applications.

Analysis of her recent publications reveals a strong emphasis on abnormal grain growth phenomena in aluminum alloys, with particular attention to the role of texture, dispersoids, and thermomechanical processing. Her research demonstrates consistent focus on industrial aluminum alloys used in transportation applications, addressing challenges related to homogenization, recrystallization, and corrosion resistance. The integration of traditional metallurgical research with emerging nanomaterial applications represents an evolving trend in her scholarly work.

Professor Radetic actively contributes to both fundamental metallurgical research and practical industrial applications, with publications spanning from detailed electron microscopy studies of grain boundaries to applied research on alloy processing technologies. Her work bridges theoretical understanding of microstructural phenomena with practical solutions for aluminum alloy production and performance enhancement.
