Nenad Nikolić

Nenad Nikolić serves as a Senior Associate (Researcher) at the Department of Materials Science, Center for Green Technologies, Institute for Multidisciplinary Research, University of Belgrade, Serbia, with continuous institutional affiliation since 2010.

His academic foundation includes:

• Doctoral studies in Geochemistry (Mantle Petrology) at Macquarie University, Australia (2004)
• Geological Engineering degree from the University of Belgrade (1995-2003)
• Electronics Technician diploma from Nikola Tesla High School (1991-1995)

Nikolić's research integrates Materials Science, Geochemistry, and Crystallography through advanced characterization techniques including electron microanalysis, XRD, and FT-IR spectroscopy. His work focuses on functional materials for energy applications—particularly lithium batteries, fuel cells, and ceramic components—with significant contributions to nanomaterials for electronics and geological material analysis. This multidisciplinary approach bridges industrial material development and fundamental geochemical processes.

His publication record (2010-2020) reveals consistent expertise in semiconductor characterization, ceramic engineering, and sensor development. Early work centered on infrared analysis of doped semiconductors and ceramic sintering, evolving toward industrial applications in ferrite core manufacturing and thermistor-based flow measurement systems. The recurring theme involves applying structural characterization to optimize material properties for energy conversion and storage.

Nikolić has secured substantial research funding through Serbian Ministry projects including "Materials and processes in lithium batteries and fuel cells" (III 45014, 2011-2019) and "0–3D nanostructures for electronics and renewable energy" (III 45007, 2011-2019). While no formal student advisement is documented, his project leadership implies mentorship of junior researchers. He operates within the Center for Green Technologies, focusing on sustainable material solutions through interdisciplinary collaboration.
