Dr. Ivana Perović has been a Research Associate at the Department of Physical Chemistry, Vinča Institute of Nuclear Sciences, National Institute of the Republic of Serbia since February 2011. With a PhD in electrochemistry and over 12 years of experience in synthesizing and characterizing catalytic materials, she is a highly skilled researcher. Dr. Perović has published over 15 papers in international journals, with 211 citations and an h-index of 8 according to Google Scholar. Her primary research focus lies in the development of new materials for various applications, including electrolytic hydrogen production, PEM fuel cells, and energy storage materials for supercapacitors and batteries. Between 2012 and 2015, she played a crucial role as a member of the INS Vinča team that participated in the FP7 Collaboration program, JTI FCH-JU. This collaborative effort aimed to enhance the efficient use of resources in energy-converting applications, specifically developing a catalyst for the Micro-Combined Heat and Power (μCHP) system. The system utilized PEMFC to generate electricity and provide heating for individual households. Additionally, from 2020 to 2022, Dr. Perović led the Proof of Concept project called H2EduS, which received funding from the Innovation Fund of the Republic of Serbia. This project further underscored her expertise and demonstrated her leadership abilities. Lastly, she contributes to the Serbian Chemical Society as an active member.
