Kolb\u003c\/strong\u003e obtained degrees in chemical engineering and organic chemistry from Belgrade University, Serbia, and earned her PhD in organic chemistry from Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, Illinois, United States. Following a 30-year career, she is Professor Emerita of Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, Kenosha, Wisconsin. During her first sabbatical leave with the NASA Specialized Center of Research and Training (NSCORT) in Astrobiology, she conducted research with Dr. Leslie Orgel at the Salk Institute and Prof. Stanley Miller at UC San Diego. Her second sabbatical was with Prof. Joseph Lambert at Northwestern University, where she studied sugar silicates and their potential astrobiological relevance. She is credited for authoring over 160 publications, in the fields of organic and medicinal chemistry, green chemistry, and astrobiology, including several books. Recently, she authored \u003cem\u003eGreen Organic Chemistry and Its Interdisciplinary Applications\u003c\/em\u003e (CRC 2016). In the astrobiology field, she edited \u003cem\u003eAstrobiology: An Evolutionary Approach\u003c\/em\u003e (CRC 2015) and \u003cem\u003eHandbook of Astrobiology\u003c\/em\u003e (CRC 2019).
