biography

Sanja Damjanović completed school and high school until 1991 and studied physics at the University of Belgrade until 1995 . Her postgraduate master's degree related to theoretical particle physics and gravity .

In 1997 and 1998 she was an assistant at the University of Montenegro (UCG). From 1999 she went to the Ruprecht-Karls-University in Heidelberg for her doctoral thesis under the supervision of Hans Joachim Specht (former scientific director of the Society for Heavy Ion Research ) . Her topic was electron pair production at 40 A GeV / c Pb - Au collisions and closely linked to the Čerenkov Ring Electron Spectrometer (CERES / NA45-2) experiment at the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) particle accelerator at CERN . She received her PhD in 2002 with Magna cum laude .

As a postdoc , she stayed at CERN as part of a cooperation agreement between RKU and GSI, where she began researching at the SPS for the NA60 experiment (“ prompt dimuon and charm production with proton and heavy ion beams ”) from 2003 onwards. From 2006 with a CERN Fellowship , from 2009 as a Scientific Associate in changing programs in the fields of basic research , in experimental physics of high-energy nuclear collisions and in applied research on investigations in radiation fields created by high-energy particle beams . In 2007 Damjanović played a leading role in initiating the cooperation agreement between Montenegro and CERN.

Since 2014 she has been permanently employed at the Society for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt (Dept. Beam Diagnosis in the Accelerator Department), she returned to CERN in 2015 as a delegation. Sanja Damjanović has over 100 scientific publications.
