Biography:

Sanja Frka Milosavljević, PhD, is a Senior Research Associate at the Division for marine and environmental research, Ruđer Bošković Institute, Zagreb, Croatia. She received her PhD in Oceanology from the Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb, Croatia, in 2008 and conducted postdoctoral research at the National Institute of Chemistry, Ljubljana, Slovenia under the Marie Curie FP7-PEOPLE-2011-COFUND project (2014-2017). She is currently leading four competitive projects aimed at assessing the impacts of atmospheric deposition on complex biochemical responses of oligotrophic systems, considering the importance of promoting and inhibiting effects on phytoplankton and the consequent altering in surface water chemistry, including the sea surface microlayer at the atmosphere-sea interface. Her research interests include sources, interactions and (trans)formation processes of atmospheric organic aerosols, characterisation of organic matter in different natural aquatic systems, atmospheric deposition, and exchange processes between atmosphere and ocean. She is a member of several national and international scientific organisations and is involved in teaching and supervising of graduate students, PhD and postdoctoral students. She published 44 papers in international peer-reviewed journals, 2 book chapters, 84 other publications, and abstracts in proceedings of international and national meetings.
