Životopis

Dr. sc. Ana Vrsalović Presečki, doc. was born 23 August 1975. in Split. She graduated in 1999 at the Faculty of Chemical Engineering and Technology. As a student she won two Rector's award for best student paper. In January 2000, she started to work at the Faculty of Chemical Engineering and Technology, Zagreb. She got the master's degree in 2003, and in 2006 she defends the PhD thesis at the same university. In 2009 she became an assistant professor. She was a visiting researcher at several foreign institutions. In 2001 she spent two months in the Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany, where she was also in September, 2007. In March 2004 she stayed for two weeks at the Faculty of Chemical Engineering in Maribor. In February 2008 and in February 2010 she was in Veszprem, Hungary on the Research Institute of Chemical and Process Engineering. Her research interest is in the field of biochemical engineering with a special interest in the mathematical modeling and optimization of bioprocesses that are catalyzed either by isolated enzymes or whole non-growing cells. Results of her research are published in twenty five papers in journals indexed by CC and SCI database. She won the "Vera Johanides" award of Croatian Academy of Engineering for young scientists in 2008.
