Vesna Ribic

Dr. Vesna Ribić received her Ph.D. in chemistry from the Faculty of Chemistry at the University of Belgrade, Serbia, in 2021 with a thesis titled 'Structural analysis of basal-plane inversion boundaries in Sn4+ and Sb5+ doped wurtzite modification of zinc oxide by transmission electron microscopy and calculations based on density functional theory'. For her dedicated work and study, she received two state scholarships and an award for the best scientific paper at the Institute for Multidisciplinary Research in Belgrade in 2021. After completing her Ph.D., she pursued a post-doctoral specialization in Electron Microscopy and Quantum Chemical Calculations at the Jožef Stefan Institute in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Dr. Vesna Ribić's research in materials science encompasses structural chemistry, quantum chemical calculations, and electron microscopy. Her interest orbits around experimental and theoretical investigations of interfaces, planar and point defects, and their formation mechanisms at the atomic scale. She has presented over 35 papers at international and domestic conferences, delivered several invited talks at universities abroad, and published 10 scientific papers in international journals, including her highest-ranking paper, which was published in Advanced Materials in 2024.
