I work as a Senior Lecturer in the School of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences at City University London, where I teach wireless communications and computer networks to undergraduate and MSc students. Since 2009, I also hold a position of Assistant Dean for Electrical and Electronic Engineering, with a responsibility of managing Undergraduate programmes in EEE.
 
My main research interest is in the operation of multihop wireless networks, especially in the problem of optimal scheduling in multiservice networks. I also have interest in vehicular networks, interference management in OFDMA and bio-inspired networking algorithms.
 
Research projects:
 
Wireless Networks for Moving Objects, EU COST Action IC90169 (2010-2013)

Interference Management for Large-scale Relay Wireless Networks, collaboration with T-Systems (2010-2014)

I am a member of IEEE and IEEE ComSoc and served as a member of Technical Program Committee for the following conferences: ICC, ICT , NEW2AN, WCNC , Globecom, MASS, ICSNC, Pervasive Health, and IASTED conferences. I have been actively involved in the  COST 290 action. I review papers for IEEE Communication Surveys, Computer Networks, IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, IEEE Transactions on Broadcasting, IET Communications, Ad Hoc Networks, and others. I was also involved in the organization of several ICST conferences, including EHealth 2008 and Digibiz 2009.
 
I was born in what was Yugoslavia in 1973 and completed my education there, before moving to London in 1998. I have a PhD degree in telecommunications from Queen Mary, University of London (2002) and a Diploma in Electronic Engineering from the University of Belgrade, Serbia (1998).
