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).
