Bio/Research

I am an Associate Professor in the School of Engineering Science at Simon Fraser University. Prior to joining SFU, I was a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Miami, from 2003 to 2005. My research interests revolve around signal processing and its applications in image and video coding, multimedia communications and networking, and computational biology. In addition to research and teaching in these areas, I was also involved in new media art as a Telepresence Architect for several telematic dance/music performances within the Touched Project in 2009-2010. In the period 2010-2012, I was the Chair of the Media Streaming Interest Group of the IEEE ComSoc Multimedia Communications Technical Committee.

I was born in Belgrade, Serbia, on February 18, 1976. I received the B.Sc.Eng. degree (summa cum laude) in Electronic Engineering from the University of Natal, South Africa, in 1998, and the M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering, the M.S. degree in Mathematics, and the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, USA, in 2000, 2002, and 2003, respectively.

I like to travel. I also appreciate good wine. It didn’t take me long to put the two together and embrace the concept of wine-related travel, whereby I seek to explore the wine producing capabilities of whatever region I’m visiting. It gives context to the whole trip and provides opportunities for fun excursions away from the city noise; not to mention the souvenirs. I’ve been fortunate enough to visit some of the top wine producing regions in the world in the last couple of years, including the Napa and Sonoma valleys in California, Cape Town/Stellenbosch region in South Africa, La Rioja in Spain, Douro valley in Portugal and, closer to home, Okanagan and Cowichan valleys in British Columbia, as well as the Olympic Peninsula wineries in Washington State.
