Postdoctoral researcher at POLYMAT, University of the Basque Country UPV/EHU. She obtained her B.Sc. in Engineering of Materials and Nanotechnology and her M.Sc. in Polymer Materials from Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje. In 2025, she obtained her PhD in Applied Chemistry and Polymeric Materials from UPV/EHU. Her doctoral research focused on strategies to reduce residual monomers in acrylic waterborne polymer dispersions, including UVC post-polymerization, thiol-based depletion, modified TiO₂ nanoparticles and enzyme-catalyzed post-polymerization. Her current research focuses on sustainable polymer-based materials for forward osmosis desalination, including ionomeric draw solutions and biomimetic membranes for low-energy water treatment technologies.
