Predrag G. Ristić

Predrag G. Ristić is a Researcher in the Department of General and Inorganic Chemistry at the Faculty of Chemistry, University of Belgrade.

His educational background includes:

• BSc in Chemistry from the University of Belgrade - Faculty of Chemistry (2013-2017)
• MSc in Chemistry from the University of Belgrade - Faculty of Chemistry (2017-2018)
• PhD in Chemistry from the University of Belgrade - Faculty of Chemistry (2018-2022)

Dr. Ristić's research spans several areas within chemistry, with a focus on inorganic and materials chemistry. His work particularly emphasizes solid state chemistry, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and their applications in biocatalysis and environmental remediation.

His current research projects address the challenge of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in Serbia and the design of enzyme-MOF composites for biocatalysis. These projects highlight his interest in applying inorganic materials to solve environmental and biochemical problems.

His notable awards include:

• Best poster presentation prize at the 27th conference of the Serbian Crystallographic Society (2021)

Dr. Ristić has been involved in significant research projects funded by the European Commission and the Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia. These include:

• Active project (2022-2025): Twinning to address the PFAS challenge in Serbia (PFAStwin) – Horizon EU project (Grant No. 101059534)
• Finished project (2020): Controllable Design of Efficient Enzyme@MOF Composites for Biocatalysis (SYMBIOSIS) – PROMIS project funded by the Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia (Grant No. 6066997)

He has not advised any graduate students as per the available information.

He is a member of the Serbian Chemical Society and the Serbian Crystallographic Society, which likely facilitates collaboration within the national chemistry community.
