I work as an associate research scientist at Disney Reserch Zurich (DRZ) since April 2010. I am a part of the Wireless Networks and Mobile Computing team led by Stefan Mangold. Before I joined  DRZ, I was a PhD student in the Laboratory for Communication Networks at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm, Sweden. My PhD thesis focused on radio resource allocation mechanisms in cellular and hybrid radio networks. In 2007, I was as an intern at Ericsson Eurolab in Aachen, Germany, working on resource-efficient video streaming in E-MBMS. Before I started my PhD studies, I worked as a research engineer in the Communication Networks Laboratory at the Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, Canada. I hold M.Sc. and Dipl. Ing. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Belgrade, Serbia.
