UNIVERSITY OF LJUBLJANA

BSc in checmical engineering, 2015

Finished my BSc education under the

mentorship of prof. dr. Andreja Zupančič

Valant. Title of my thesis was "Rheological

properties of polymer melts". Researched

rheological properties of naylon6 in a

process of depolymerization in caprolactam.

UNIVERSITY OF LJUBLJANA

MSc in Chemical engineering, 2020

Completed my MSc education with thesis

under the mentorship of prof. dr. Polona

Žnidaršič Plazl. Title of my thesis was

"Enzyme immobilization on nanomaterials

integrated in microreactors". We made an

extensive research on two tagged-enzymes

and two nanomaterials. Nanomaterials were

integrated in the custom designed

microreactor.
