Short Bio:

Prof. Dr. Ljubiša Andrić, full member of AINS, principal research fellow at the Institute for Technology of Nuclear and Other Mineral Raw Materials in retirement since 2022, was born on the 6th of April 1957, in Zemun. Ljubiša Andrić enrolled to the Faculty of Mining and Geology, from which he graduated in 1984. He defended his MSc thesis in 1993. Ljubiša Andrić defended his doctoral dissertation (PhD thesis) from scientific area of materials at the Center for Multidisciplinary Studies, University of Belgrade, in 1999. In 1986 he started his employment at the Institute for Technology of Nuclear and Other Mineral Raw Materials, going through all phases of researcher’s titles (from year 2004 he has been a Principal Research Fellow) and manager positions (since 2009 until retirement he had been an Assistant Director and the Chief of the Sector for Mineral Processing and Inorganic Technologies). Since 2014, Ljubiša Andrić has been a Full Professor at the Technical Faculty in Bor, Faculty of Bor, at the Department for Mineral and Recycling Technologies. Due to his overall research activities and his scientific profile and affinities, Ljubiša Andrić has been involved in fundamental, developing, and applicable investigations in preparation of metallic and non-metallic mineral raw materials. During the period 1986-1990, he participated in wear-in of several industrial and semi-industrial facilities. During a period 1990-2022, in scientific and researching activities of the Institute for Technology of Nuclear and Other Mineral Raw Materials, his work is aimed towards achieving and developing new scientific themes in preparation of mineral raw materials, and improving of the process of micronization, mechanical and mechano-chemical activation and their application on preparation of new materials. During that period, he accomplished important international collaboration with Slovakia (Mineral Processing, Institute of Geotechnics Slovak Academy of Sciences, Košice), Russia (Institute of Inorganic Chemistry SB RAS Novosibirsk), Turkey (Mineral and Coal Processing Section-Mining Faculty, Istanbul Technical University, Istanbul), Bulgaria (University of Mining and Geology, Sofia), etc. During the period 1986-2022, he participated and/or managed 38 projects funded by Ministry of Science, Ministry of Environmental Protection, etc., and on 83 pre-investment studies, projects, and project revisions. From projects in which he participated or which he managed, ten MSc theses and nine PhD theses have been produced. He is a co-author of 33 technical solutions. He participated in preparation of the books: “Mining Engineers in 19th and 20th century” (2004), and in 2006 he published a monograph under the title “Mica: Preparation and Application”, while in 2013 he published “Grinding Milling - Micronization, Mechanical and Mechanochemical Activation by Milling“, and in 2014 he was an editor of the chapter “Exploitation of non-metallic mineral raw materials” in the monograph “Serbian mining and geology in the second half of the 20th century”. He published a textbook under the title „Management and Waste Treatment“ in 2014. During the period 1998-2022, with his associates he published eleven chapters in Serbian and international monographs. Prof. Dr Ljubiša D. Andrić has published 410 scientific and technical papers in national and international journals, and in proceedings of the national and international conferences. He was an editor in chief of Proceedings of the XVI и XIX symposium of PMS with international participation. Since 2010 he is a full member of the Balkan Academy of Sciences for Mineral Technology, Istanbul, Turkey. Since 2012 he is full member of the Academy of Engineering Sciences of Serbia. He has been a member of the redaction board of the journal “Recycling and Sustainable Development” since 2008, and since 2010 he is a member of redaction board of the Journal of Mining and Metallurgy, Section A: Mining. Since 2011, he is vice-president of the Balkan Congress for Preparation of Mineral Raw Materials. During the period 2010-2022, he held seven invited lectures.
