Biography

Dr. Ivana Validzic is a research professor at the Vin?a Institute of Nuclear Sciences, part of the National Institute of the Republic of Serbia. After graduating from the Faculty of Physical Chemistry at the University of Belgrade, she earned her PhD in 2004 at Utrecht University’s Van Hoff Laboratory in the Netherlands. She has authored more than 40 peer-reviewed publications and the books “Reverzibilni sistemi na nanometarskoj skali” (2005) and “Advances in the Photovoltaic Field through Light Manipulation” (2022). Her research interests include synthesizing Sb₂S₃ semiconductors, designing new solar cells based on both non-doped and doped Sb₂S₃ semiconductors, and developing optics to enhance the photovoltaic response of solar cells through light manipulation, as well as exploring the fundamental nature of light.
