Vesna V. Paunović

Vesna V. Paunović is a Full Professor in the Department of Materials for Electronics at the Faculty of Electronics, University of Niš, Serbia. She has been actively contributing to materials science research with a focus on ceramic materials and dielectric properties.

• PhD in Materials for Electronics, Faculty of Electronics, Niš (2008)
• Master’s in Materials for Electronics, Faculty of Electronics, Niš (2002)
• BSc in Chemistry, Faculty of Philosophy, Niš (1994)

Her research is centered on advanced ceramic materials, particularly barium titanate (BaTiO₃)-based systems. She investigates dielectric properties, doping effects, microstructure development, and electrical characterization using impedance spectroscopy. Her work integrates fractal modeling and solid-state synthesis techniques to understand and improve functional ceramics for electronic applications.

The analysis of her recent publications reveals a strong trend in the modification of BaTiO₃ ceramics through donor-acceptor doping, nanocrystalline synthesis, and impedance-based microstructural analysis. Her work spans disciplines such as materials engineering, solid-state physics, and ceramic technology, with applications in capacitors and smart electronic systems.

She is a member of several prestigious professional organizations:

• Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
• International Society of Stereology (ISS)
• European Microbeam Analysis Society (EMAS)
• Serbian Society for Microscopy (SDM)
• Serbian Ceramics Society (SKD)

Vesna Paunović is currently involved in 2 national and international research projects. She has co-authored a 2012 monograph on impedance spectroscopy and has published over 43 papers in journals with impact factors. Her academic advising role is not explicitly mentioned, but her collaborative research suggests active mentorship and team leadership.

Her work is closely tied to the research ecosystem at the Faculty of Electronics, particularly in laboratories focused on ceramic synthesis, microstructural analysis, and electrical characterization. These labs support advanced research in functional materials and contribute to both academic training and industrial applications.
