Academia

Currently, since October 2021, I hold a research position at the Institute for Artificial Intelligence R&D of Serbia. Previously I was an associate professor at Alfa University in Belgrade. 

Until recently you could have found me in Doha. I was with Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar (CMU-Q) as postdoctoral research associate (since June 2016 and until march 2019). It took part in the Meta-Clf2 project, which dealt with (the problem of) automated reasoning about concurrent, distributed and parallel systems. I was particularly interested in applications  in economics, namely in formalizing financial systems, in particular order-matching cores. 

Prior to that I was an associate professor at the Faculty of  Computer Science, Belgrade (2014-16), and an associate professor at the Faculty of Economics and Management, Novi Sad (2008-10, 11-14). I have been teaching subject such as Mathematics of Finance, Probability, Statistics, etc, at an undergraduate level.

I spent 2010-11 as a postdoctoral research fellow at Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, EPFL, Switzerland, after obtaining Swiss Government Scholarship. 

I received a PhD degree from Ecole Normale Superieure de Lyon, ENS Lyon, France (in December 2007), for which I was awarded an international scholarship for doctoral studies Marie Curie EU FP6 (2004-08), through the project Mathlogaps - Mathematical Logic and Applications.

Also I participate in theoretical and applied computer science research through projects with the Faculty of Technical Sciences, Center for Mathematics and Statistics CMS, University of Novi Sad, and coordinated by the Mathematical Institute of Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, MI SANU.

I spent some time doing research in digital image/shape analysis, namely designing some of the fundamental shape descriptors. 

At some point, not long ago, I have been studying quantitative finance at MSc level (IMQF).

I attended elementary school Miloš Crnjanski (at that time called Stevan Divnin Baba) in Žabalj, whereas my high school was Jovan Jovanović Zmaj in Novi Sad. I graduated from the Faculty of Science, University of Novi Sad, Serbia.
