Ivana Kuzmanović Ivičić is an Assistant Professor at the School of Applied Mathematics and Informatics, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek. Her academic roles include teaching undergraduate courses in computational thinking, linear optimization, and mathematics education methodology. She currently serves as President (2025–present) and previously as Vice President (2021-2025) of the Udruga matematičara Osijek (Association of Mathematicians Osijek). Education: PhD in Mathematics, University of Zagreb (2012) BSc in Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Osijek (2005) Her research focuses on applied mathematics with specialization in numerical linear algebra, matrix equations, and perturbation theory. She develops computational methods for mechanical systems stability analysis, damping optimization, and eigenvalue problems. Her work bridges theoretical mathematics with engineering applications in vibration control and system dynamics. Publications demonstrate consistent focus on matrix perturbation theory, gyroscopic systems analysis, and computational optimization methods. Recent work explores stability bounds in mechanical systems while earlier publications address mathematical education and linear algebra applications. Research consistently appears in numerical analysis and computational mathematics journals. Research Projects: Vibration Reduction in Mechanical Systems (Croatian Science Foundation, 2020-2023) Optimization of Parameter Dependent Mechanical Systems (Croatian Science Foundation, 2015-2019) Nonlinear Parameter Estimation in Mathematical Models (Ministry of Science, 2007-2013) She has supervised 18 undergraduate theses covering topics in numerical methods, matrix theory, mathematical education, and computational tools. Regularly participates in international conferences on numerical analysis and maintains collaborations with European research institutions.
