Biography

Short Bio:

I received Dipl.-Ing, Mr.-Ing. and Dr.-Ing. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Novi Sad, Serbia, in 2001, 2005 and 2008, respectively. Since February 2009, I was an Assistant Professor, since March 2014, I was an Associate Professor, and since April 2019, I'm Full Professor with the Department of Power, Electronics and Communication Engineering, University of Novi Sad. From June 2009 until December 2010, I was on leave as a Marie Curie Intra-European Fellow (FP7-PEOPLE-2008-IEF project "MMSTREAM") at the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK. From 2011-2014, my research at the University of Novi Sad is supported in part by Marie Curie European Reintegration Grant (FP7-PEOPLE-2010-ERG project "MMCODESTREAM"). My research group was involved in FP7-PEOPLE-2011-IRSES project "QoSTREAM" (2012-2016) and FP7-PEOPLE-2013-ITN project "ADVANTAGE" (2014-2018), and is involved in H2020-MCSA-2015-RISE project "SENSIBLE" (2017-2021) and H2020-WIDENING-2018-TWINNING project "INCOMING" (2020-2022).
