Assoc. Prof. Dr. Radoslava Pravilović serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the Faculty of Technology and Metallurgy, University of Belgrade. Her teaching portfolio includes core courses such as Fundamentals of Automatic Control (22ZP43), Process Management (22KK47), and Process Modeling and Simulation (22MMSP, 22НХТ34, 22ХПИ32), delivered from office 321 in the TMF large building.
Her research centers on advanced encapsulation technologies for bioactive compounds, with emphasis on polyphenol delivery systems using biopolymers like alginate, chitosan, and inulin. She investigates diffusion kinetics and release mechanisms from lipid-based carriers (liposomes, niosomes) and hydrogel matrices, targeting applications in food fortification and pharmaceutical delivery. Her work integrates process modeling to optimize encapsulation efficiency and stability.
Analysis of her 15 most recent publications reveals consistent focus on controlled release systems for nutraceuticals and drugs, with increasing sophistication in carrier design (e.g., hybrid alginate-chitosan-inulin particles) and characterization techniques (zeta potential, membrane fluidity studies). Her research demonstrates strong interdisciplinary collaboration, particularly with Branko Bugarski's group, bridging chemical engineering principles with food and pharmaceutical sciences.
