Ivke, Biljana, Neša, Milica, Ivan and Nikola participated in 32nd Symposium of Physics of Ionized Gases (SPIG 2024), held in Belgrade at the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Art. Ivke was member of the Scientific Committee for the sixth consecutive time. Ivan was in the Ogranizing Committee, while Bilja served as the co – secretary of the conference.
During the final day of the conference, Ivan gave a progress report lecture entitled “Application of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence in Plasma Spectroscopy“.
At the poster presentation part of the conference, Biljana presented the poster entitled “Fast Photography in the Service of Spatially and Temporally Resolved LIBS Diagnostics of Doped Tungsten”, while Ivan presented the posters entitled “Detection of Rhenium in Tungsten Using LIBS with Additional Fast Pulse Discharge” and “Influence of the Ablation Angle Change on Spectral Line Intensities in LIBS Experiments“. Apart from this, we also presented, or participated in the following posters:
Target Selection for LIBS Studies of Hydrogen Isotope Retention – Dragan Ranković, Biljana Stankov, Ivan Traparić, Miroslav Kuzmanović and Milivoje Ivković
During the conference, we also had a pleasure of hosting our friend and collaborator Dr. Chihiro Suzuki – san from NIFS Japan, who gave a talk entitled “Comprehensive Z-dependence Analysis of Soft X-ray Spectra from Highly Charged Heavy Ions Using Magnetically Confined High-temperature Plasmas“.
Bilja stayed at ENEA Frascati Research Center for two weeks
As a part of the realisation of NOVA2LIBS4fusion project, Biljana had a scientific stay at the ENEA Frascati Research Center. There she had the opportunity to collaborate directly with Dr. Violeta Lazić, where they performed LIBS experiments and the analysis of the experimental results is underway.

Lecture by Biljana at Astronomical Observatory of Belgrade
In collaboration with Faculty of Dramatic Arts of University of Belgrade, through project CORIOUS, Biljana held a lecture called 
“Beriilium” at Astronomical Observatory of Belgrade. This was a lecture with aim to promote science and to explain at first glance complicated scientific concepts and results to general public with original scenography and special effect, created by her colleagues from FDA. The official abstract of this lecture was:
Our Augmented Lecture goes high above us into the cosmos, among the stars, using the chemical element called Beryllium. Through it, Dr Biljana Stankov, a research associate at the Institute of Physics in the laboratory for Plasma Spectroscopy and Lasers, and Milica Stojšić, an architect and artist in the field of light design, meet on stage. Inspired by the doctoral research of t
he scientist Biljana Stankov, we came to the central question posed by this lecture: is it possible to put the glow of the stars, which we see at night, on our palm and look at it up close? And is it possible to create it? Our lecture will try to “catch” the completely elusive, to clearly “see” what is invisible to the naked eye and to infiltrate into the incredibly complex nature of light, thanks to which we see the whole world around us, and which we cannot perceive and understand independently. In the exceptional ambience of the Observatory on Zvezdara, which is intended for closer acquaintance and observation of the cosmos, we will try to create our own little cosmos on stage, in which the audience will get closer to and shed light on this incredible branch of science, at this exciting, joint site-specific lecture.
SPIG 2022
Ivke, Biljana, Neša, Milica and Ivan participated in 31th Symposium of Physics of Ionized Gases (SPIG 2022), held in Belgrade at the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Art. The conference was organized in hybrid format, part of the lectures was online and the other part was on site. Ivke was member of the Scientific Committee for the fifth consecutive time. Neša was in the Ogranizing Committee.
At the poster presentation part of the conference, Biljana presented the poster entitled “Spectroscopic characterization of laser-induced plasma on doped tungsten“, while Ivan presented the poster entitled “Elemental analysis of austenitic steel by calibration-free laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (CF-LIBS)“. Apart from this, we also presented, or participated in the following posters:
Self-mixing interferometry for plasma diagnostics – Nikola Goleš, Neda Babucić, Nenad M. Sakan and Milivoje Ivković
Application of artificial neural network in the analysis of the spectra from laser ablation combined with fast pulse discharge – Nenad M. Sakan, Milica L. Vinić, Vladimir A. Srećković, Ivan Traparić, and Milivoje R. Ivković
Modeling of Stark spectral line broadening by machine learning algorithms – Irinel Tapalaga, Ivan Traparić, Nora Trklja Boca, Jagoš Purić and Ivan P. Dojčinović
Biljana became Assistant Research Professor
We proundly announce that since 22th January 2021., Biljana has a new scientific title of Assistant Research Profesor at the Insitute of Physics Belgrade. We wish her a lot of success in her research in the years to come.
SPIG 2020
Ivke, Biljana and our MSc student Ivan Traparić participated in this year’s jubilee 30th Symposium of Physics of Ionized Gases (SPIG 2020). Because of the bad situation in Serbia due to Coronavirus pandemic, SPIG 2020 was organized completely in online format. The honor to give the introductory talk had Acad. Prof. dr Zoran Petrović. Ivke was member of the Scientific Committee for the forth consecutive time. Also, Ivke chaired the Thursday’s mourning Plenary Session.
At the poster presentation part of the conference, Biljana presented the poster entitled “Appearance of Be II 436.1 nm line with forbidden component in LIBS plasma”, while Ivan presented the poster entitled “VUV Spectroscopy of the He II – Lyman Series for electron density estimation”.
We are also proud to announce that we invited five lecturers. First, Tony Donne, the Programme Manager of EUROfusion and head of the Fusion Physics Division at the Dutch Institute for Fundamental Energy Research (DIFFER) gave the plenary talk “Challenges and Progress on the Path Towards Fusion Electricity”. Second, Sibylle Günter, Scientific Director of IPP (Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics) gave the plenary lecture “The Two Conceps of Magnetic Confinement: Tokamak and Stellerator”. Third invited lecturer was Dimitri Batani from University of Bordeaux, who was invited to held the lecture at 1st BegFust (Belgrade Fusion Science and Technology Workshop), which was unfortunately postponed. Nevertheless, prof. Batani held the plenary lecture entitled “Current Status of the Laser Fusion Research and the Shock Ignition Approach”. Fourth invited lecturer was Sebastian Brezinsek from Forschungszentrum Jülich, Institute of Energy and Climate Research, who gave the topical invited lecture “Plasma-Wall interactions in Wendelstein 7-X Operating with Graphite Divertor”. Fifth invited lecturer was Daiji Kato from NIFS (National Institute for Fusion Science) Japan, who gave the topical invited lecture entitled “Compact Electron Beam Ion Trap for Spectroscopy of Multiple Charged Ions“.
Biljana defended her PhD Thesis
We are proud to announce that Biljana defended her PhD Thesis entitled “Istraživanja kompleksnih oblika spektralnih linija berilijuma u prisustvu berilijumske prašine” (“Investigation of Complex Shapes of Beryllium Spectral Lines in the Presence of Beryllium Dust”) on 3rd August 2020 at the Faculty of Natural Sciences, University of Novi Sad. Thesis advisors were dr Milivoje Ivković and dr Igor Savić, the PhD Defense Committee president was dr Stevica Đurović while the Committee members were dr Lazar Gavanski and dr Bratislav Obradović.
Because of the current situation due to Coronavirus pandemic in Serbia, none of the laboratory members were allowed to be present at the public part of PhD defense.
Biljana EWCPS Attendance
As you might remember from our earlier, Biljana was in Pau (France) for attending 18th European Winter Conference on Plasma Spectroscopy (EWCPS) from 3rd to 8th February 2019.
She gave a lecture entitled “Uncovering Beryllium line with forbidden component”:
