Education
Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, University of Leeds, United Kingdom, September 2006
B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, University of Belgrade,
Serbia, October 2003
Research
My research interest includes theory of phonon and electron transport in nanoscale systems, and its applications to modeling and design of thermoelectric and optoelectronic devices. The theoretical models I have been developing are based on Green's function, Boltzmann transport and density matrix formalisms.
