Ivana savic biography

Dr Ivana Savic

Dr Ivana Savic joined King's College London in 2022 as a Senior Lecturer in Physics. She obtained her undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Belgrade, Serbia in 2003, and PhD from the University of Leeds, UK in 2006. Her postdoctoral research positions were at the Commission of Atomic Energy, Grenoble, France and the University of California, Davis, USA. Prior to joining King's College London, she led a research team at the Tyndall National Institute, University College Cork, Ireland.

Research

Dr Savic’s research focus is the development of theoretical and computational approaches to characterise and predict the transport and ultrafast processes in bulk and nanostructured materials. Her research aims to develop an understanding of how many-body interactions (e.g. electron-phonon and phonon-phonon interactions) influence the electronic, thermal and thermoelectric transport properties of materials. She is also developing an understanding of coupled electron and vibrational dynamics in materials after intense light excitatio

Biography

I received my undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Belgrade, Serbia in 2003, and PhD from the University of Leeds, UK in 2006. My previous research positions were at the Commission of Atomic Energy, Grenoble, France and the University of California, Davis, USA. In 2012, I was awarded a Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) Starting Investigator grant to set up a new research direction at Tyndall National Institute on the theory and design of thermoelectric materials. With further SFI support through a Principal Investigator grant in 2016, I have established a team consisting of several PhD students, postdoctoral researchers and collaborators working on cutting-edge material design concepts for radically improving thermoelectric efficiency. I am also a funded investigator in the SFI CONNECT Centre for Future Networks and Communications.

Research Interests

My areas of research include the development of computational approaches to characterise, predict and design thermal, electronic and

Ivana is psychologist and psychotherapist, with nearly a decade long experience working with clients from all over the world.

Education

She graduated at the University of Belgrade, where she also got her master's degree in Psychology in 2014.

Psychology training she received at AST : Association of systemic therapists - European institute of psychotherapy.

Psychotherapy process

I see psychotherapy process as a process of building safe space and trust in relationship with client/s , in which then all things can be shared without judgment and with the aim to recognize how certain patterns have been existing in client's life , what is their meaning and purpose now and how we can come to new solutions that can work in the current life stage and current circumstances so that the client can better adapt and live life better connected to his or her needs and values.

Problems my clients usually seek support for : anxiety and depression, loss and grief, perfectionism and self-sabotage, relationship problems.
