Dr. Nedeljković is the principal investigator in the field of nanomaterials. He has extensive international collaboration, and he worked in Argonne National Laboratories, and National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Under his supervision, 12 Ph.D. students graduated. Dr. Jovan Nedeljković published more than 170 scientific papers. Papers published by Dr. Nedeljković have been cited more than 6000 times, and his h-index is 40. Dr. Nedeljković is a referee for many journals. Dr. Nedeljković main research interest includes the development of colloidal methods for synthesis of nanoparticles of different type of materials. His research goal is to obtain nanoparticles with high uniformity and controllable shape (spheres, rods, wires, tubes), as well as to understand the size- and shape-dependent properties of materials at nano-scale. Also, the research interest of Dr. Nedeljković is a synthesis of nanocomposite materials using nanoparticles as building blocks (polymer-based nanocomposites, functionalized textile fibers, thin films, etc.).
Tanu Rana
Dr. Tanu Rana has a Ph.D. in Microbiology from AIIMS, New Delhi and a Master’s degree in biotechnology. Her research pursuits have spanned multiple facets of life sciences, from research on host-pathogen interaction to directing and collaborative research through a microscopy core facility.
Over the course of her career, Dr. Rana has published widely in peer-reviewed journals and presented her findings at national and international conferences, contributing meaningful insights to the fields of infectious diseases, and novel diagnostic approaches.
Beyond lab research, Dr. Rana is committed to the development of the next generation of healthcare professionals and scientists. She has taught and continues to teach medical, dental, master’s and graduate students, offering lectures, active learning opportunities, hands-on laboratory instruction, and mentorship that bridges theoretical knowledge and practical skills.
Ricardo J Ferreira
Dr. Ricardo J. Ferreira, PhD is a Medicinal Chemist with 10+ years experience in Computational Chemistry. He was a Research Member in several projects from 2012-2022 (funded by the Portuguese Science and Technology Foundation - FCT) in cancer and metabolic diseases. Currently he implements and provides computational chemistry support and responsible for all R&D IT at Red Glead Discovery.
Eduardo J Fernandez
Dr. Eduardo J. Fernandez is a Senior Lecturer of Applied Animal Behaviour and Welfare in the School of Animal and Veterinary Sciences at the University of Adelaide (Australia). He received his Ph.D. in Psychology (minors in Neuroscience and Animal Behavior) from Indiana University and his M.S. in Behavior Analysis from the University of North Texas.
Most of his past and current work involves behavioral research applied to the welfare and training of zoo, aquarium, and companion animals. He runs the Operant Welfare Lab (OWL), which is dedicated to the use of learning principles to improve the lives of animals across many settings, including exotic animals in zoos and aquariums and companion animals in homes and shelters. OWL is also part of the larger Animal Behaviour, Welfare, and Anthrozoology Lab (ABWAL; abwal.com).
