Position
Researcher
Zeljko Petrovski obtained PhD in Chemistry at ITQB-UNL, Portugal in 2004 on synthesis and catalysis. As postdoctoral associate from 2005-2005 he worked on Pauson-Khand reaction at IST and then on supercritical carbon dioxide and phase equilibria from 2008-2009 at UNL. As auxiliary researcher at UNL from 2009 he started working also on synthesis of pure ionic liquids containing active pharmaceutical ingredients (IL-APIs) and their investigation as drug delivery tool particularly against antibiotic resistance. At UFRJ, Brazil in 2015-2016 he also gained experience on synthesis of Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) and since then also continues his work on porous materials as well as on plastic degradation and pollutant removals.
