Dr. Tamara Gavrilovic | Thermometry Award | Best Researcher Award

Dr. Tamara Gavrilović earned her Ph.D. in Chemistry from the Vinča Institute of Nuclear Sciences and the Faculty of Chemistry at the University of Belgrade, Serbia, between 2011 and 2015, with a focus on materials science, particularly the synthesis and optical properties of nanomaterials. Prior to that, she completed her M.Sc. in Chemistry at the Faculty of Chemistry, University of Belgrade, in 2011, where she specialized in Analytical Chemistry, working with High-Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Ion Chromatography. Dr. Gavrilović began her academic journey with a B.Sc. in Chemistry, which she obtained from the same institution in 2010.

Dr. Tamara Gavrilović is currently a Senior Research Associate at the Vinča Institute of Nuclear Science in Belgrade, Serbia, a position she has held since 2021. In this role, she manages research projects, mentors young researchers, and delivers academic presentations within the Laboratory for Radiation Chemistry and Physics. From 2017 to 2020, she served as Lead Researcher and Project Leader at the Institute of Solid State Physics in Riga, Latvia, where she led projects on up-conversion crystals, managed research teams, and contributed to numerous publications. Prior to her current role, Dr. Gavrilović was a Research Associate at the Vinča Institute from 2016 to 2021, focusing on manuscript preparation, research, and mentorship in the Radiation Chemistry and Physics Department. She began her career as a Research Assistant from 2014 to 2016, and as a Research Trainee from 2012 to 2014, where she engaged in data analysis, supervision, and laboratory work in the Solid State Radiation Physics Department.

Dr. Tamara Gavrilović has received several prestigious awards and grants throughout her academic career. She was awarded the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Grant for her research at Tomas Bata University in Zlin, Czech Republic, focusing on organometallic-mediated ketone synthesis and electrophilic aromatic nitration. Additionally, she was honored with the Best Young Scientist Award for her outstanding presentation at the 1st Conference of Young Chemists of Serbia. Furthermore, Dr. Gavrilović led the ERDF Postdoc Project titled “Novel nanosized up-converting oxide materials for practical applications” at the Institute of Solid State Physics in Riga, Latvia, demonstrating her significant contributions to the field of materials science.
