معرفی
Ana-Marija Cindrić is a Senior professional associate at the Ruđer Bošković Institute in Zagreb, Croatia, working within the Division for Marine and Environmental Research and specifically the Laboratory for physical chemistry of traces. She holds a PhD in Interdisciplinary Oceanology (2009-2015) and a Master's degree in Chemical Engineering (2001-2006) from the Faculty of Chemical Engineering and Technology in Zagreb.
Her research focuses on trace metal dynamics in estuarine environments, particularly in the Krka River estuary of the Adriatic Sea. She specializes in advanced analytical techniques including Diffusive Gradients in Thin Films (DGT) and voltammetry for speciation and monitoring of trace metals in marine and estuarine waters. Her work examines both natural processes and anthropogenic impacts on water quality, with particular attention to industrial pollution, tourism effects, and the behavior of metals in stratified water systems.
Dr. Cindrić's publication record demonstrates a consistent focus on environmental chemistry, with recent work expanding to examine microplastics, dissolved organic matter dynamics, and bioaccumulation of trace metals in marine organisms. Her research often employs multimethodological approaches, combining field measurements with advanced analytical techniques to provide comprehensive assessments of environmental conditions.
- 2016 - IRB yearly award for best scientific paper published in 2015 by the scientist who did not have a doctorate at the time of publication
- Multiple French embassy research scholarships (2010-2014) for collaborative work at Université de Toulon and Université de Bretagne Occidentale
- Scholarship for Short Term Scientific Mission within Cost Action ES0801 program (2011)
- Scholarship for Research test cruise within GEOTRACES program (2010)
Dr. Cindrić has participated in numerous international research collaborations, particularly with French institutions, and has contributed to European environmental research initiatives including COST Actions. Her work has significant implications for environmental monitoring, pollution assessment, and sustainable management of coastal ecosystems in the Adriatic region.
