个人/团队介绍：
Aleksandar Ćirić, PhD, is a Research Associate at the Vinča Institute of Nuclear Sciences, University of Belgrade, where he conducts research within the Optical Materials and Spectroscopy (OMAS) Group, one of the leading groups in luminescent materials, contactless thermometry, and sensing applications. His work spans fundamental and applied research, focusing on the characterization and application of inorganic luminescent materials, theoretical modeling, spectroscopy, and prototype development. He has demonstrated independence and professionalism in designing and conducting experiments, analyzing data, and developing open-source scientific software for luminescence modeling. His expertise includes luminescent coatings for sensor applications, phosphors for LED technologies, and electrochemical deposition methods.

He is the principal investigator of a Technology Transfer Innovation Fund project (TTF 1168) on the development of a Thin-Film/Coating Printer based on Electrolysis of Valve Metals, aimed at advancing electrochemical coating technologies. He was also a task leader in the NATO Science for Peace and Security project ORION (G5751), where he led Artificial Intelligence and Prototype Design for an optical nose grid for explosive vapor detection. He has contributed to multiple national and international projects, including the Science Fund of Serbia Diaspora project LATTE (6408377) on luminescent titanite thin films, the PRIZMA project REMTES (7017) on microfluidic technology measurements, and the PROMIS project LEDtech-GROW (10412) on bismuth-sensitized Eu³⁺ luminescence for LED-based indoor plant growth. He has participated in proof-of-concept projects for high-temperature luminescent thermometry and bilateral research on UV-to-visible light conversion technology for antimicrobial applications.

He has undertaken international research visits, including at Western University of Timișoara in Romania, the University at Buffalo in the United States, and the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland for synchrotron training. His contributions extend beyond fundamental research to prototype development, including a LED solar simulator for the Institute of Molecular Genetics and Genetic Engineering, an automated sample positioning apparatus for Raman spectroscopy (patented as a utility model), and the prototype of a thin-film electrochemical printer, currently undergoing national patent registration.
He served as the mentor for Ana Martinović’s PhD dissertation on Dy³⁺ luminescence thermometry, defended at the Faculty of Physics, University of Belgrade in 2024, and was acknowledged in the PhD dissertation of Kevil Shah at the University of Baroda, India. His scientific contributions include the investigation of optical properties of luminescent materials for applications in contactless temperature sensors and LED phosphors. He has advanced the semi-empirical quantum-mechanical Judd-Ofelt theory for luminescence modeling, developing new methodologies for Judd-Ofelt analysis based on Eu³⁺ excitation spectra and Pr³⁺ emission spectra, as well as a colorimetric and thermometric model based on this theory. His work has resulted in multiple software solutions for Judd-Ofelt analysis and temperature-dependent luminescence modeling.

He has published over 70 peer-reviewed journal articles has been cited over 1400 times, with an h-index of 23. He authored 2 books and 3 book chapters, one published by Springer-Nature. He has served as an editor for the journal Crystals MDPI. He has given invited talks and presented research at numerous international and national conferences, including for NanoTBtech Horizon2020 program.

He has been included in Stanford University’s list of the top 2% most-cited scientists globally for 2022, 2023, and 2024. He ranks second among Serbian researchers in the natural sciences and medicine category at the research associate level. He received the Annual Research Award from the Vinča Institute of Nuclear Sciences in 2021 for his contributions to fundamental research. His ResearchGate Interest Score places him in the top 1% of scientists who first published in 2018 and in the top 10% overall.

He is a member of the Center of Excellence for Light Energy Conversion (CONVERSE) in Serbia and the Serbian Society for the Advancement of Science. He is part of the Scientific Council of the Vinča Institute and the Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Research Board at the University of Belgrade. He has been a member of the organizing committees for multiple international and national conferences, including the International Conference on the Physics of Optical Materials and Devices (ICOM), the International Conference on Phosphor Thermometry (ICPT), and the Serbian Conference on Materials, Applications, and Technology (SCOM).

He has reviewed over 130 journal articles for high-impact journals such as Light: Science & Applications (IF = 20.2), Nature Communications (IF = 14.7), and Chemical Engineering Journal (IF = 13.3). He has also served as a project reviewer for the Czech Academy of Sciences. His research continues to bridge the gap between fundamental and applied science, focusing on luminescence thermometry, spectroscopy, and electrochemical coating technologies.
