Our Team

Ivanka Božović

Principal Research Fellow,

Head of the Group

She received her PhD at DELHPI experiment at CERN in 1999. Upon her return to Serbia from postdoctoral study at DESY, over the years she initiated novel HEP activities in the Vinca Institute: H1 and ATLAS up to 2013 and ongoing at future Higgs factories: ILC, CLIC and CEPC. She played various expert and managerial roles in HEP collaborations, currently serving, among others, as the Higgs physics convener at ILD.

Ivan Smiljanić

Research Associate

Made his PhD on integrated luminosity measurement at ILC, in the framework of the FP7 AIDA project. He was the on-call expert for the vertex detector at the H1 experiment at DESY. Currently involved in detector R&D for instrumentation of the very forward region and integrated luminosity measurement at linear and circular electron-positron colliders.

Goran Kačarević

Research Associate

Goran Kačarević is a young postdoctoral fellow, with a PhD thesis CERN-THESIS-2023-343 on Higgs rare decays to pair of photons at 3 TeV CLIC. In 2018 he was a scholar of the Tohoku University Research-Oriented Incoming Student (ROIS) Scholarship, involved in development of a simulation software for a very forward detectors at ILC.

Nataša Vukašinović

Research Associate

Nataša has completed her PhD on Higgs to Z boson coupling measurement at 350 GeV and 3 TeV CLIC (CERN-THESIS-2024-249). She was also a ROIS scholar in 2018. Involved in the CPV analysis in HZZ vertex in ZZ-fusion at 1 TeV ILC as the primary author. She served as a referee of Eur. Phys. Journal C.

Ivana Vidaković

Research Associate

Ivana Vidakovic is the youngest member of our team. She is a doctoral student at the Faculty of Science at the University of Kragujevac, recently completing her doctoral exams with average 9.83 out of 10. Her PhD topic is the CP violation in Higgs to tau-pair decays at CEPC.
