I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at University of California, Berkeley, working with Professor Maria Laura Delle Monache, funded by a Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation and WASP Postdoctoral Scholarship.
My research interests lie primarily in the field of traffic modelling and control, particularly focusing on mixed traffic (e.g., human-driven and Connected and Autonomous Vehicles, or combustion engine and electric vehicles), Lagrangian control, and the Front-tracking Transition System modelling framework. My research includes highway traffic control using a small subset of directly controlled vehicles, from both the Lagrangian and the multi-class perspective, modelling and control of electromobility and its interactions with the power grid, and platooning coordination.
Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at GIPSA-lab, CNRS Grenoble, and a member of team DANCE at Inria Montbonnot, working with Professor Carlos Canudas-de-Wit, and before that, a doctoral student at the Division of Decision and Control Systems, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, under supervision of Professor Karl Henrik Johansson. In March 2021, I defended my doctoral thesis ("Modelling and Lagrangian control of mixed traffic: platoon coordination, congestion dissipation and state reconstruction"), and in January 2019, my licentiate thesis ("Control of vehicle platoons and traffic dynamics: catch-up coordination and congestion dissipation"). I was a part of oCPS Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network and an affiliated PhD student of the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP). I received my B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (Automatic Control) from the Signals & Systems Department, School of Electrical Engineering, University of Belgrade.
