Biljana held a lecture at ChemInno 2026 – When Science Meets Industry conference
Biljana held an invited lecture at the First International Conference on Medical, Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Chemistry, Household and Industrial Chemistry, Forensic and Analytical Chemistry (ChemInno 2026 – When Science Meets Industry) held on 5th May 2026 in Belgrade. There she presented the work done during her recent stay at ENEA Frascati entitled “Acoustic Signatures in LIBS-Based Detection of Explosive Traces”.
The paper on in – situ LIBS measuring head accepted in Measurement Science and Technology
The paper with core idea of IDEJE project NOVA2LIBS4fusion, the functional measuring head for in – situ low pressure LIBS applications, has been published in Measurement Science and Technology journal. With this publication, all work carried under this project has been published, and project was successfully brought to the end.
Popular lecture by Biljana at Kolarac Foundation
On Monday, 16th March, Bilja held a public popular lecture “From Fusion Reactors to Crime Scene – Material Analysis with Laser Produced Plasmas” about the work done in our Lab during the past couple of years at Kolarac Foundation in Belgrade. Lecture is a part of the series of popular lectures “Under the quantum light” (Serb. “Pod kvantnom svetlošću”) organized by Institute of Physics Belgrade and Photonics Center. The abstract of the talk was (in Serbian):
Dr Biljana Stankov će na svom predavanju predstaviti deo istraživanja Laboratorije za lasere i plazmu Instituta za fiziku u Beogradu, koja se bave analizom materijala primenom laserski proizvedene plazme. Predavanje „Od fuzionih reaktora do mesta zločina – analiza materijala laserski proizvedenom plazmom” će objasniti šta se dešava kada laserski impuls pogodi materijal i kako nastala plazma omogućava da se „pročita” njegov sastav. Kroz zanimljive primere, biće prikazano kako se ova metoda primenjuje u mnogim oblastima, od fuzionih istraživanja pa do forenzičkih analiza. Cilj predavanja je da se publici približi kako se svetlost i plazma koriste kao moćni alati za razumevanje materije u savremenoj nauci.
Biljana published new paper
Another paper entitled “Acoustic Signatures in Laser-Induced Plasmas for Detection of Explosives in Traces” connected with work that Biljana did during her stay at ENEA has just been published in Sensors. We congratulate her on this achievement and wish her more success in the future!
New paper by Biljana and her coworkers
Biljana’s trip to ENEA Italy gave its first results. The paper entitled “Transferable calibration coefficients for semi-quantitative analysis by Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) in samples containing calcium“ has been just published in Spectrochimica Acta Part B: Atomic Spectroscopy. We congratulate her and wish her more success in the future!
Nikola’s first publication
We are happy to inform you that Nikola has published his very first article together with Ivan, Bilja and Ivke from PSL lab and Dragan Ranković and Prof. Miroslav Kuzmanovic from Faculty of Physical Chemistry. Paper is entitled Hydrogen isotopes retention studies using laser and microwave induced plasma coupling (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-96546-x) and it was published in Scientific Reports.
New publication by Bilja, Ivan and Ivke
Bilja, Ivan and Ivke, together with our former colleague Marijana Gavrilović Božović published a paper about detection of absorbed neutrons in first wall of future fusion devices from measurements of Re content in WRe alloy using Laser Induced Fast Pulse Discharge (LIFPD). More about this on: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fusengdes.2025.114943
New paper by Ivan, Bilja and Ivke
During the work on the realization of NOVA2LIBS4fusion project financed by the Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia Ivke, Bilja and Ivan published an article in Spectrochimica Acta B: Atomic Spectroscopy journal entitled Resolving studies of Balmer alpha lines relevant to the LIBS analysis of hydrogen isotope retention
SPIG 2024
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.
