I am a researcher with a work experience in R&D, chemical technology, inorganic and nanochemistry and other branches of chemistry. Successfully implemented sorption technologies for recovery of rare metals from brines. Currently working on sorption technology projects for rare metals, including lithium, rubidium. Soon I will complete a nostrification procedure in Qualification agency of Serbia and will be ready to transfer to Belgrade. I speak English professionally.
Work experience
Junior research assistant
Axion Rare and Noble Metals
2024
● Conducted laboratory and pilot-scale testing of sorbents for extracting lithium, rubidium, strontium, bromine, and iodine from high mineralized brines using sorption technology.
● Tested and optimized inorganic sorbents to improve recovery rate, dynamic and sorption characteristics. Applied electrochemical processes and measurements.
● Participated in weekly project meetings, presenting progress updates and technical reports to the R&D team and supervisors. Authored research reports for key clients from China, Russia, and Australia.
● Successfully developed and implemented a sorption technology for rubidium recovery from brines, achieving 92 % extraction efficiency using novel approaches (co-authored with supervisor).
