EDUCATION:
Ph.D., Chemical Engineering, Oregon State University, 1979
M.S., Chemical Engineering, Oregon State University, 1974
B.S., Chemical Engineering, Belgrade, Yugoslavia, 1971

EMPLOYMENT HISTORY:

RESEARCH INTERESTS:
Dr. Jovanovic's interest in microscale technologies started in the late eighties when he and his colleagues at Belgrade University developed a semiartificial pancreas, a technology based on the cell encapsulation technique. Currently his research is focused in two microscale technology areas: i) development of microscale chemical reactors and separation processes suitable for the development of microscale based chemical processes, and ii) the development of microscale biosensor devices.

Dr. Jovanovic is currently leading the project 'Micro Chemical Reactor System for Dechlorination of Chlorinated Aromatic Hydrocarbons' (DOE).

In the bio-area Dr. Jovanovic is working on the development of a new class of highly miniaturized, fluidics-based devices capable of performing combinatorial testing on immobilized or encapsulated biomaterials (NSF, DARPA).

Dr. Jovanovic is also interested in the development of unit operations and chemical processes for space applications. He is currently leading a research project in the area of "Micro-gravity-compatible Chemical Processes for Long Space Missions" (NASA).
