I joined Keele University as Lecturer in Chemistry in December 2011 and I am a member of the Research Institute for Environmental Physics and Applied Mathematics EPSAM. I studied Physical Chemistry at Belgrade University, Serbia and after obtaining my BSc in 1997 I worked as Consultant in Chemistry for three years in Occupational Safety and Environmental Protection Co, Serbia. I then started my postgraduate studies at Auburn University, USA under the supervision of Prof Eric Bakker and obtained my PhD in 2005. My work contributed towards better understanding of response mechanisms of ionophore-based sensors. One of the important consequences of this work was improvement of the detection limit of up to six orders of magnitude
