Work Experience
Working at the Faculty
Volunteer work at the college for more than 4 years on various projects in the fields of microelectronics and sensors.
As part of this engagement I have worked on developing avalanche diodes, a joint project with the University of
Lausanne, Switzerland. It is a very sensitive diode for capturing one or a pair of photons.
The very work on scientific projects has also demanded a reverse engineering of the technology, i.e. an analysis and
harmonization of laboratory measurements with simulation results.
Examination of LDMOS transistor characteristics and VDMOS transistor power.
More precisely, I’ve conducted a scientific research of the causes of the breakthrough of hydrogen ions in the
aforementioned MOS power transistors. More details at # 1 (see below). :„Simulation of Bulk Traps Influence on the
Electrical Characteristics of VDMOS Transistor“, XLVI International Scientific Conference on Information,
Communication and Energy Systems and Technologies - ICEST 2011.
A LDMOS work simulation in Silvac in combination with the Hall effect.
Designing a LDMOS 3D structure with an additional possibility of detecting static magnetic induction. This was also
my thesis.
Work on the development of the HIT solar cell. As part of my post-graduate studies, I worked on a couple of projects
related to the increase of efficiency of the HIT-type solar cell. The technology in question was Sanyo technology which
was improved with the purpose of increasing the usage of solar energy in the process of photoabsorption and
transforming it into electric energy. A scientific paper covering this area is entitled „Simulation and Optimization of HIT
Solar Cells with Intrinsic Thin Amorphous Si Layer“, XLVI International Scientific Conference on Information,
Communication and Energy Systems and Technologies-ICEST 2011. The research helped improved the efficiency for

2. about 10-15% in the conditions described by the simulation, and the advantage is that amorphous Si was used, which is
cheaper for production. This technology is basic for all TFT transistors which are the basic elements of all modern TFT
LCD screens.
Working with students and teaching assistants
I took part in educating students through short training courses in the form of simulation exercises and lectures on
solar systems, as a coordinator in the preparation of theses on the topic of solar cells. Also, I assisted in the research
conducted for the purpose of writing a doctoral thesis.
Cooperation and part-time work with MOS-AV d.o.o company
In the field of analysis of cost-effectiveness of solar energy I have worked on several projects, one of which was with
MOS-AV d.o.o, a company from Belgrade. http://www.mos-av.com/solarne_elektrane.php
Cooperation and part-time work with CONSECO d.o.o. company: With the company Conseco d.o.o. From
Belgrade I cooperated in presenting and selling solar pannels.
SEO Expert, a computer programming agency: Part-time and volunteer work in the company SeoExpert
during the period of two years, in the field of SEO marketing: http://www.seoexpert.rs/SEOexpert.php
Tigar A.D. Company “Obuća Tigar” Pirot (Dec 2007 – Dec 2009): Production organization department (Dec
2007 – Nov 2008) During the internship in the sector of production organization I was trained for the organization and
division of labor in the production process. That consisted of the analysis and assessment of the traceability of materials
and analysis of effective work of employees throughout the production process – a proper loading of the workforce. The
trainees’ final work task was the recording and analysis of operations and manpower in the Department of maintenance.
Production quality control (Nov 2008 – Dec 2009) Worked as a production quality control engineer with a special
emphasis on the estimation and purchase of necessary raw material – fabric for production. Production control and
harmonization of solutions to the problem of the worker-standard, as well as consumption-purchase of materials for
production.
Freelance projects on website editing
Writing and editing texts for the websites http://www.solarnipaneli.org/, http://www.roofsolarpanels.biz/. Writing and
editing texts pertaining to SEO optimization, working with WordPress and Magento, CSS stylization of web pages,
HTML structuring of web contents, responsive design and front-end design for the SeoExpert website,
VremenskaPrognoza website, Prevodioci, SolarniPaneli, etc.
