معرفی
Dragana GAJIĆ is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, University of Banja Luka. She holds an MSc in Physical Chemistry from the University of Belgrade and a teaching qualification from the University of Banja Luka. Her research focuses on physical chemistry, photochemistry, and mechanochemistry with emphasis on the synthesis and characterization of semiconducting materials, particularly zinc oxide and iron oxide nanoparticles. She actively participates in national and international projects related to environmental remediation and nanomaterials. Her work includes antimicrobial and photocatalytic applications of doped nanoparticles, as well as adsorption studies for heavy metal and pharmaceutical pollutant removal.
Education highlights include a 2018 MSc thesis on ZnO synthesis via mechanochemistry and a 2015 teacher’s degree in chemistry. She has conducted research exchanges at Eastern Finland University (2018) and contributed to UNESCO projects. Her research interests also extend to green synthesis methods and biomedical applications of nanocomposites.
Notable achievements include a first place award at the 2015 STES Student Conference. She teaches physical chemistry, electrochemistry, and chemistry pedagogy courses. Her projects span mechanochemistry for sustainable industry, nanoporous catalyst development, and pyrophyllite-based nanocomposites for drug release.
