Aleksandra D. Mitrović

Dr. Aleksandra D. Mitrović serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Organic Chemistry at the Faculty of Chemistry, University of Belgrade, a position she has held since 2019. Her academic journey began with undergraduate studies in Chemical Sciences at the same institution (2004-2010), followed by doctoral research completed in 2017.

Her educational background includes:

• Undergraduate studies in Chemical Sciences, University of Belgrade - Faculty of Chemistry (2004-2010)
• Doctorate in Chemical Sciences, University of Belgrade - Faculty of Chemistry (2009-2017)

Dr. Mitrović's research spans Organic Chemistry, Polymer Chemistry, and Analytical Chemistry, with significant contributions to nanomolecular machine design, carbon material modification, and environmental pollutant analysis. Her work bridges synthetic chemistry with practical applications in security and health. Recent publications demonstrate growing emphasis on micro/nano-plastic toxicity and enzyme-based material engineering, reflecting interdisciplinary collaboration across European research consortia.

Her scientific achievements have been recognized through competitive awards:

• DAAD scholarship (2012) for research at Friedrich-Alexander University
• Humboldt postdoctoral scholarship (2018)
• Alexander von Humboldt Foundation research grant (2019)

Current research is supported by major grants including IMPTOX (2021-2025), a Horizon 2020 project investigating microplastic-allergy links funded by the European Commission, and previous OPCW-funded work on chemical warfare agent detection. She also led a Philip Morris-funded project on enzymatic carbon material modification (2019-2020). As a member of the Faculty Council since 2023 and active participant in the Serbian Chemical Society and Humboldt Club Serbia, she contributes to institutional governance and international scientific exchange.
