Emilija Nidžović works as a Research Assistant at the Department of Materials at the Vinča Institute of Nuclear Sciences, University of Belgrade. She is also a member of the Center for the Synthesis, Processing, and Characterization of Materials for Use in Extreme Conditions (CEXTREME LAB).

She completed her BSc and MSc degrees at the Faculty of Mining and Geology, University of Belgrade. Currently, she is pursuing a doctoral degree in Chemistry at the Faculty of Technology and Metallurgy, University of Belgrade. Her work focuses on the synthesis, processing, and characterization of ceramic materials, with a particular emphasis on high-entropy oxides. During her PhD studies to date, she received two scholarships from the JECS Trust Fund which funded two of her research stays (November 2023 – February 2024; December 2024 – March 2025) at the Institute of Inorganic Chemistry, Slovak Academy of Sciences in Bratislava, Slovakia. She is also a participant in two bilateral projects: "Unlocking the Potential of Spinel-Type High-Entropy Oxides for Energy-Related Applications" approved by the Ministry of Science of the Republic of Serbia and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), as well as the project "Quantum correlations in high-entropy oxides with spinel structure (HESOs)" between the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research and the Ministry of Science of the Republic of Serbia.

As a winner of the national competition organized by the Serbian Society for Ceramic Materials, she represented Serbia at the "ECerS 2025 Student Speech Contest" for young scientists in the field of ceramics, held at the 19th International Conference of the European Ceramic Society in Dresden (August 31–September 4, 2025). Emilija is an active member of both the Serbian Society for Ceramic Materials and the Serbian Society for Innovative Materials in Extreme Conditions, serving on the organizing committees for conferences organized by both societies. Furthermore, she has been serving as the Serbian Ceramic Society's YCN representative since 2024.
