Andreja Bakac received her PhD in Chemistry from the University of Zagreb in 1976 and has been an Adjunct Professor in the Chemistry Department at Iowa State University since 2005. Among her many research interests are kinetics and mechanisms of inorganic and organometallic reactions, catalytic oxidation with molecular oxygen, and activation of dioxygen by transition metal complexes.
