I am a final-year bachelor's student of Applied Chemistry at the Faculty of Chemical Engineering and Technology in Zagreb. I am highly motivated to continue my education and professional development in the same field. My plan is to become involved in various research projects and the development of new methods in the field of chemistry. I am currently participating in research on the optimization of hydrophobic effects on antiviral and antimicrobial materials, under the mentorship of Professor Ernest Meštrović, PhD. I am an active member of the Croatian Society of Chemical Engineers and Technologists (HDKI) and employed as a student assistant at the faculty.
