Curriculum vitae

 


Introduction

I was born in Trebinje, Bosnia and Herzegovina. There I finished my elementary and high school. After graduation from high school in 2015, I started my undergraduate studies at the Faculty of Physics at the University of Belgrade. I obtained my BSc Diploma in 2019, and in the same year I enrolled in Masters studies. Experimental work on Master Thesis was done in the Laboratory for Plasma Spectroscopy and Lasers. After getting my MSc Diploma, I decided to further pursue my scientific career and therefore started my PhD studies in the field of Physics of Ionized Gases and Plasma. My PhD was completed in October 2024 in the field of Plasma Spectroscopy, on the topic of application of machine learning algorithms in spectroscopic analysis of different plasma sources.

In my free time I enjoy playing and watching Basketball, Football and Table Tennis. Beside that, I also enjoy learning new languages.
