Nikola Jašňáková is a research scientist engaged in the Digitalization project (S2DApp), supported by the European Union – NextGenerationEU under the Recovery and Resilience Plan of the Slovak Republic (project no. 09-I05-03-V02-00047). She is doing research at the Department of Physical Chemistry, Institute of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice. 

She earned her Master’s degree in Chemistry and Biology in 2023. Her thesis, supervised by RNDr. Jana Shepa, PhD., with consultation from RNDr. Ivana Šišoláková, PhD., explored advanced approaches to electrochemical virus detection. Conducted at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, her work focused on the development of a novel electrochemical sensor for the detection of SARS-CoV-2. The findings were presented at both national and international scientific conferences. 

Currently, her research is devoted to the design of next-generation electrochemical multisensors capable of simultaneously detecting multiple bioanalytes with exceptional sensitivity, reproducibility, selectivity, and long-term stability. This line of inquiry aims to advance the healthcare as well as environmental monitoring. 

Beyond her research, Nikola actively participates in academic and professional forums and is a member of the Electrochemical Society (ECS), a leading international organization that promotes progress in solid-state and electrochemical science and technology. 

Her vision is to connect fundamental research with real-world applications, contributing to innovative sensing technologies that enhance human well-being and support a more sustainable future.
