Biography

Tatjana is a full Professor and 乐天堂app下载 Head of 乐天堂app下载 Laboratory of Bioinorganic Chemistry at KU Leuven, Belgium. Before coming to Leuven, she was a post-doctoral fellow at 乐天堂app下载 University of California, Berkeley, working with Prof. Kenneth N. Raymond, and an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow with Prof. Christian Griesinger (Max-Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry).

She obtained her PhD from Iowa State University (Ames, USA), and her Diploma in Chemistry from 乐天堂app下载 University of Belgrade (former Yugoslavia) with 乐天堂app下载 highest distinctions.

Her interdisciplinary research is at 乐天堂app下载 interface of inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, materials science and catalysis. Her work exploits metal cluster-based complexes and materials such as polyoxometalates (POMs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for bio-inspired reactivity studies. Her laboratory also creates new hybrid structures based on POMs, using 乐天堂app下载 principles of supramolecular chemistry and molecular recognition.

Tatjana is a member of AcademiaNet, a global portal of outstanding female scientists, and 乐天堂app下载 Vice President of 乐天堂app下载 European Rare-Earth and Actinide Society. 

She maintains an active interest in promoting gender and cultural diversity in 乐天堂app下载 working environment and speaks five languages fluently. She also serves as a dedicated coach and mentor to younger female scientists, both in 乐天堂app下载 framework of 乐天堂app下载  Belgian Women in Science Association (BeWiSe) and within KU Leuven.
