About me

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at UC Berkeley, working with Professor Maria Laura Delle Monache, funded by a Wallenberg Foundation and WASP Postdoctoral Scholarship.

Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at GIPSA-lab, CNRS Grenoble, and a member of team DANCE in Inria, working with Professor Carlos Canudas-de-Wit on modelling and control of electromobility. Before that, I was a doctoral student at the Division of Decision and Control Systems, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, under supervision of Professor Karl Henrik Johansson. In March 2021, I defended my doctoral thesis ("Modelling and Lagrangian control of mixed traffic: platoon coordination, congestion dissipation and state reconstruction"), and in January 2019, my licentiate thesis ("Control of vehicle platoons and traffic dynamics: catch-up coordination and congestion dissipation"). I was a part of oCPS Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network and an affiliated PhD student of the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP).

My research interests lie primarily in the field of traffic modelling and control, particularly focusing of mixed traffic of e.g., human-driven and connected and autonomous vehicles, or combustion engine and battery electric vehicles. My research includes mainstream highway traffic control using a small subset of directly controlled vehicles, control of electric vehicle charging stations, and front-tracking transition system framework for traffic modelling.

In March 2021, I defended my doctoral thesis (titled "Modelling and Lagrangian control of mixed traffic: platoon coordination, congestion dissipation and state reconstruction"), and in January 2019, my licentiate thesis ("Control of vehicle platoons and traffic dynamics: catch-up coordination and congestion dissipation"). Prior to becoming a doctoral student, I received my B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (Automatic Control) from the School of Electrical Engineering, University of Belgrade.
