Life after EACH – Nikola Obradović

Nikola: Hello, my fellow analytical chemists! My name is Nikola and I was part of the EACH intake 2017. After two amazing EACH years, it was time for me to move on. I secured a PhD position at ETH Zürich right after graduating from EACH (truth be told, I did take a one week break to get married). My EACH experience was a great asset in landing my PhD, not just from a professional standpoint, but a personal one, as well. EACH granted me the skillset necessary for day-to-day work, but also brought me into an international environment which allowed me to learn from many great minds and make a valuable network of friends and professional connections.

After my defense in 2023, I started looking for an industry job in analytical chemistry and landed a role of Analytical Chemist at Northvolt in Skellefteå. From the interview phase all the way to my current day-to-day activities, I use the skills I acquired during my EACH days. And it is not just the instrumentation and lab skills. All those quality management and measurement uncertainty courses we had during EACH are now an inseparable part of my daily life. In case you ever doubted, I can tell you – you’re in the right place! Keep rockin’!
