Welcome!

I am a Full Professor of Information Systems Engineering at the Department of Industrial Engineering and Management of the Faculty of Technical Sciences, University of Novi Sad, Serbia.

Between March 18th, 2021 and October 8th, 2025 I have dedicated most of my time and brainshare to developing and heading The Artificial Intelligence Research and Development Institute of Serbia, serving as a founding director.

Since July 2019, I have transitioned into the role of Ambassador for Tandemlaunch, a unique startup foundry based in Montreal, Canada. If you would like to start a deep tech startup, let me know.

Since April 3rd, 2019 I am also an NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute University Ambassador. If you would like me to organize a free Deep Learning training workshop at your university or conference, let me know.

I spent two years (2013-2015) as a postdoc researcher at the University of Trento, Italy with the Multimedia and Human Understanding Group.

On my more recent sabbatical (2018-2019) I manned the post of Senior Research Scientist at Tandemlaunch.

While pursuing my PhD degree (2003-2006) at the Florida Atlantic University, USA I was affiliated with the Center for Coastline Security and the Center for Cryptology and Information Security.

My current research interests include: Neural Networks and Deep Learning, Computer Vision, Machine Learning and Data Science, Multimedia, Visual Attention, Image/Video Processing.

I am extremely lazy when it comes to updating my web page, so you would be safer with tracking my professional work on GoogleScholar and LinkedIn, using the links in the sidebar.
