*In short, married, two children ages 14 and 10, PhD holder, associate professor.
*A little bit longer version (just highlights of course):
*As a student: 1998 Internship @ Mechanical engineering – Aleppo , Syria, exchange of students through organisation IAESTE; 2000 Internship @ State Institute for Material Testing (Staatliche Material Pruefungs Anstalt, MPA), University of Stuttgart, Germany.
*2009 awarded DAAD scholarship for intensive language course – level C2, passed exam ZOP – Zentraleoberstufepruefung; Berlin Goethe institute
*1th SCI list paper (hopefully first of many ;) )
Stepanov, B., Pešenjanski, I., Spasojević, M., Scandinavian baffle boiler design revisited, Thermal Science, (2014), OnLine-First Issue 00, pp.: 70-70, doi:10.2298/TSCI130508070S
*20.09.2014. defended PhD thesis: Modelling of processes of flow, combustion and heat transfer in furnace freeboard of boiler fueled with wheat straw. In the thesis were studied possibilities of boiler improvement using stated modelling techniques and CFD tools
*1.09.2015.-1.03.2016. Erasmus Mundus Sigma Agile A2 scholarship holder for Post-doc stay at Lappeenranta University of Technology, Finland, Centre of Computational Engineering and Integrated Design
*Current Research focus: safety of solid fuel boilers and BLEVE (boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion). Topic originated from a engagement at court as an expert.
Result from this research:
2th first author SCI list paper
