Daria Ilic

Daria Ilić holds a Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Protection Engineering and a Master’s degree in Water Treatment and Safety Engineering, both obtained from the Faculty of Technical Sciences at the University of Novi Sad, where she is currently pursuing doctoral studies in Environmental Protection Engineering. She gained her first hands-on experience at the Jaroslav Černi Water Institute in Belgrade, working on the modeling and design of wastewater and raw water treatment facilities. During her master’s studies, as part of the “Bog in Box” project at the Environmental Research Institute – University of the Highlands and Islands (Scotland), she developed UV-VIS methodologies and natural adsorbents for arsenic removal, further expanding her expertise in hazardous substance detection and advanced water treatment technologies.

Since September 2022, she has been working as a junior researcher at the BioSens Institute’s Research Center for Sensing Technologies. Her primary focus is the application of portable membrane inlet mass spectrometry (MIMS) and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as biomarkers of ecosystem health. In addition, her research interests include water treatment using quantum technologies, adsorption with natural materials, watercourse management, and various methods for pollution detection.
