Biography
I studied Civil Engineering at University of Belgrade, Belgrade, Yugoslavia where I obtained a First Class BSc (Honours) degree with major in Hydraulic engineering in 1982, and MSc in Hydraulic Engineering in 1987. I did my PhD on modelling groundwater flow and transport at the same university. I worked at the University of Belgrade before joining the lecturing staff of Aberdeen University Engineering Department in November 1998.
