Prof. Radović's research interests center on chemical engineering thermodynamics, particularly phase equilibrium studies involving vapor-liquid, liquid-liquid, and solid-liquid systems. Her work spans high-pressure density measurements, thermodynamic modeling of complex mixtures, and industrial drying processes. She has extensively investigated biodiesel and petro-diesel blends, hydrocarbon-alcohol systems, and polymer-solvent interactions. Her research has practical applications in energy integration, particularly using Pinch methodology for nitric acid production optimization, and in the development of efficient drying processes for chemical production.
Her publication record demonstrates a strong focus on experimental thermodynamics, with numerous papers on density measurements, volumetric properties, and phase behavior of various chemical systems. The research trends show consistent work on high-pressure systems, biodiesel characterization, and molecular interactions in complex mixtures. Her work bridges fundamental thermodynamic principles with industrial applications, particularly in energy efficiency and process optimization.
Prof. Radović has supervised numerous doctoral, master's, and undergraduate students across a wide range of thermodynamics and process engineering topics. Her mentoring portfolio includes research on hydrogen storage, biomass valorization, separation processes, and energy efficiency in industrial applications. She has participated in multiple research projects including the European Commission's NESSHY project on hydrogen storage and various national projects focused on chemical thermodynamics applications.
Her research group has developed specialized equipment for high-pressure density measurements and has worked on innovative catalyst development for biodiesel production from waste materials. The team maintains strong connections with both academic institutions, including post-doctoral work at Delft University of Technology, and industrial partners in the chemical and energy sectors.
