I hold two PhDs: one in Nutritional Technology Science from the University of Belgrade, and another in Food Molecular Microbiology from the Norwegian University of Life Sciences. These advanced studies have provided me with a strong foundation in food safety and microbiology, which I apply in both my academic and professional roles. Currently, I serve as the Dean and Full Professor at the Faculty of Food Technology, Food Safety, and Ecology at the University of Donja Gorica. In this role, I manage academic programs, lead research initiatives, and guide the development of future leaders in the food technology sector.
As the Director of the Centre of Excellence for Digitalization of Microbial Food Safety Risk Assessment, I lead pioneering research focused on improving food authenticity certification and safety through cutting-edge digital tools. My work has also extended to the global stage, where I serve as a National Consultant for the UN FAO, addressing critical issues related to nutrition and food systems in Montenegro. Additionally, I work with the UNDP to help shape sustainable agricultural policies, ensuring that biodiversity and environmental concerns are integrated into Montenegro's agricultural development.
Throughout my career, I have managed numerous international research projects, published extensively, and co-edited key works like "Ensuring Global Food Safety." My focus has always been on creating solutions that enhance food safety, promote sustainability, and encourage collaboration across disciplines and borders. I am passionate about using my expertise to make a lasting impact on both national and global food systems.CV Aleksandra Martinovic.pdf (0.7MB)
