Introduction

The research of Marijana Gavrilović Božović concerns the experimental investigations of plasma physics, gas discharges and related phenomena. Main area of research is laser produced plasma with emphasis on plasma created on solid targets in liquids. Besides laser produced plasma in gases and liquids, other topics of research interest are microwave and atmospheric pressure glow discharges. In all area of research the accent is on different experimental techniques for plasma characterisation, from plasma imaging, schlieren, shadowgraphy, probe beam techniques, and probably the most important, optical emission spectroscopy (OES).
