University of ljubljana, faculty of chemistry and chemical technology
2013 - 2016Bachelor's degree chemical technology average grade: 8.56 out of 10Course consisted of theoretical and practical aspects of chemical engineering with industrial chemistry, organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, and biochemistry. Furthermore, focus was also given to polymer engineering, sustainable development, environmental chemistry, material science and process safety.

Furthermore, focus was also given to polymer engineering, sustainable development, environmental chemistry, material science and process safety. Thesis project: "Synthesis of benzothiazole derivatives with selected conversion steps". Purpose of the thesis was to synthesise different derivatives of benzothiazole using typical organic conversion reaction (Friedel-Crafts reaction, nitration, cyanation, amination and reduction). Products were characterised using GC-MS method and used in subsequent conversion reactions. Show less

University of ljubljana, faculty of pharmacy
2016 - 2019Master's degree industrial pharmacy average grade: 8.93 out of 10Study programme provided subjects that included theoretical and practical aspects of pharmaceutical chemistry, pharmaceutical technology, formulation development, biotechnology and pharmacology. We also learnt about frequently used analytical methods, such as HPLC, GC, MS and NMR, which we also got to test practically. Additionally, we gained aspect in marketing and management within the industry.Thesis project: "Evaluation of dipyridamole release from tablets on flow-through… Show more Study programme provided subjects that included theoretical and practical aspects of pharmaceutical chemistry, pharmaceutical technology, formulation development, biotechnology and pharmacology.

Additionally, we gained aspect in marketing and management within the industry.Thesis project: "Evaluation of dipyridamole release from tablets on flow-through dissolution system with pH simulation of the whole gastrointestinal tract". Research was conducted by selecting four in vivo pH profiles from the literature, which were then simulated using McIlvaine buffers of different pH. Dipyridamole tablets were made with tablet press machine and then tested in flow-through dissolution system, using simulated pH profiles. Control dissolution was made in USP II dissolution apparatus.

Charles river laboratories
Oct 2020 - nowChanged the field to chromatographic bioanalysis. I work in development of bioanalytical assays to provide methods for analysis of test items in several different biological matrices for analysis on LC-MS systems. Conduct of adsorption-desorption studies on different types of soil to determine kinetics of radiolabelled test items in presence of soil.
