With immeasurable sadness, we inform you that our dear colleague, friend, and project partner, Prof. Diana Dulić, passed away suddenly this weekend in the Netherlands.

She completed her undergraduate studies at the Faculty of Physics, University of Belgrade, and obtained her PhD from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. She built an outstanding academic and research career at prestigious European institutions before joining the University of Chile in 2013. At the Department of Physics, she served as a professor and achieved a distinguished scientific career in the fields of molecular electronics and two-dimensional materials, making an important contribution to the development of interdisciplinary research in nanotechnology.

Prof. Diana Dulić was a long-standing collaborator of the Center for Solid State Physics and New Materials at the Institute of Physics Belgrade. In recent months, within the framework of the joint project “2D Material Field Effect Transistor–based Photodetectors” (Program for Cooperation of Serbian Science with the Diaspora), she made a significant contribution through her expertise in improving transport measurements for the development of photodetectors based on 2D materials.

Her unexpected passing has deeply shaken her family, friends, and colleagues. The Center for Solid State Physics and New Materials expresses its sincere gratitude to Prof. Diana Dulić for her selfless contribution to the development of our Center and for the exceptional collaboration on our joint projects to date. Her work and memory will remain permanently present in our scientific community.
