Ina Erceg

Ina Erceg is a Researcher at the Laboratory for Biocolloids and Surface Chemistry, Division of Physical Chemistry, Ruder Boskovic Institute. She holds a PhD in Chemistry (2022) and Master's (2017) from the University of Zagreb, focusing on biomimetic synthesis of calcium phosphate/titanate nanocomposites.

• PhD, University of Zagreb (2022)
• Master's, University of Zagreb (2017)
• Bachelor's, University of Zagreb (2015)

Her research spans biomimetic nanocomposite synthesis for biomedical applications, radiation dosimetry using fortuitous dosimeters (e.g., salted crackers), and nanoparticle-protein interactions. Journal articles highlight innovations in metal-doped ZnO coatings, superhydrophobic underwater protection, and antioxidant delivery systems.

Scientific collaborations include NATO SPS Project "BioPhyMeTRE" for radiological emergency triage methods. She has contributed to 15+ peer-reviewed publications since 2018, focusing on calcium phosphate biomineralization, TiO2 nanomaterials, and surface chemistry mechanisms.
