Sladjana Popovic, Senior Research Associate at the Faculty of Biology, University of Belgrade, specializes in algology and environmental microbiology. Her work focuses on cyanobacteria and algae in extreme habitats, including caves, urban environments, and cultural heritage sites.
- Doctor of Science (2018) in Biological Sciences
- Research interests: Biofilm dynamics, lampenflora, biodiversity assessment in thermal springs and riparian zones
- Key methodologies: Isolation/cultivation of extremophiles, diatom-based bioindication, and anthropogenic impact analysis
Recent research highlights include studies on phototrophic communities in Ravništarka Cave, diatom responses to hydropower plants, and cross-border environmental conservation in the Lim River Valley. Her work bridges microbial ecology with practical applications in heritage preservation and water quality management.
Her publications emphasize the role of biofilms in cave ecosystems, thermal spring biodiversity, and invasive species dynamics in Serbian riparian areas. She also explores bioremediation strategies using periphyton and biocides in controlled environments.
