Field of interests:
The scientific and research work belongs to the field of ecology and protection of aquatic ecosystems, monitoring of environmental quality and investigation of ecological status/potential. The research work includes testing the biological effects of metals and metalloids on various tissues of selected species of freshwater fish, analyzing the degree of bioaccumulation in aquatic ecosystems, then analyzing the diet of freshwater fish species in different types of aquatic ecosystems, their dietary preferences, as well as researching the fauna of intestinal parasites of native and introduced fish species.

Aquatic ecology studies the ecosystems in aquatic environments including seas, rivers, lakes, ponds and wetlands. It examines the interaction between the physical, chemical, and biological components of aquatic ecosystems. Aquatic ecologists are also interested in human interactions with the environment, and the impact of human activity on aquatic ecosystems.
Biodiversity is the variety and variability of life on Earth. It encompasses diversity at the genetic, taxonomic and ecosystem levels. Biodiversity is important in both natural and artificial ecosystems. Today, biodiversity is threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation, unsustainable resource use, invasive species, pollution and global climate change.
Invasion biology studies introduced invasive species and their impact on the diversity, structure, dynamics, and functioning of the ecosystems they inhabit. Invasive species are considered one of the most significant factors that lead to a reduction in biodiversity.
Biomonitoring is the process of systematically observing, measuring, and analysing the physiological, biochemical, molecular, and genetic responses of living organisms to environmental changes, thus providing qualitative or quantitative information on the state of the environment. It includes the use of various bioindicators, biomonitors, bioaccumulators, and biomarkers.
Ecotoxicology studeies the toxic effects of chemicals on the environment. The effects are studied at the level of molecules, cells, tissues, organs, individual organisms, populations or ecosystems.
Functional ecology focuses on the understanding of various biological phenomena (functions) at different levels of organization from organisms to ecosystems, thus enabling the understanding of the existence of certain patterns in nature. It identifies and studies the processes and/or activities that keep an organism or entire ecosystem functioning.
Climate change is an all-encompassing and growing global threat to biodiversity and ecosystems. It directly leads to phenological, physiological, morphological, and ethological changes, the spread of invasive species, and a decrease in the number of native species and their extinction. Changed climatic conditions affect habitat quality, resulting in changes in the distribution of species and communities. In order to mitigate the effects of climate change on the environment, it is necessary to predict and understand their impact on the living world.
Urban ecology focuses on studying fundamental ecological concepts within urban areas. It examines how ecological patterns, relations and processes differ in urban environments compared to non-urban environments, and investigates the impact of urbanisation on the ecology of organisms. Additionally, urban ecology examines the relationships and interactions between ecological and social systems within urban ecosystems that are made exclusively by anthropogenic activity.
Environmental protection comprises reduction or prevention of pollution, negative impacts on the environment, damage caused to ecosystems or natural resources caused by human activities.

I obtained my MSc degree in 2011 from the Faculty of Biology, University of Belgrade (Serbia) and completed my PhD in 2017. During my PhD and subsequent postdoctoral work, I integrated concepts from eco(geno)toxicology, genotoxicology, microbiology of freshwater ecosystems, and hydroecology into my research endeavors. My primary focus lies in evaluating pollution effects in freshwater and marine ecosystems through genotoxicological bioassays, assessing DNA damage in various organism, and on assessment of water quality deterioration based on microbiological indicators of faecal pollution using quantitative methods, complemented by Microbial Source Tracking (MST) methodologies to identify pollution sources. I have collaborated with national and international research teams and participated in international river expeditions, which enriched my skill set that can be transferable to researchers interested in environment protection and established valuable collaborations and networks with renowned researchers and institutions. Sharing the same goal of environmental protection and sustainable waters use, the initialized collaborations gave me the opportunity to attend advanced trainings at the MU Vienna, TU Vienna, MU Gratz, NIB Slovenia, enhancing my professional capacities. I received a postdoctoral fellowship from the Ministry of Education, Science, and Technological Development of the Republic of Serbia in 2019 and supervised a doctoral dissertation recognized as the best in environmental protection in Serbia in 2022 (Foundation “Docent Dr. Milena Dalmacija”). Additionally, I am a member of Serbian Biological Society, Serbian Society for Water Protection, Serbian Genetic Society, Serbian Society for Microbiology and European Environmental Mutagenesis and Genomics Society (EEMGS).
