Dr. Predrag Petrović was born on January 26, 1967, in Čačak, Serbia, where he completed his primary and secondary education. He graduated from the Čačak Gymnasium with a focus on natural sciences and mathematics. During his studies, he actively participated in numerous mathematics and physics competitions, earning several accolades, including the prestigious Alas and Tesla diplomas for outstanding achievements in national competitions.

In 1985, he enrolled at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering in Belgrade. After completing his mandatory military service in 1986, he resumed his studies. Dr. Petrović graduated in June 1991 from the Department of Electronics with an impressive average grade of 9.00 (out of 10.00), achieving a perfect score of 10 (ten) on his graduation exam.

On October 1, 1991, he began his academic career as a trainee assistant at the Technical Faculty in Čačak, teaching Electronics and Industrial Electronics, where he continues to work to this day. Simultaneously, he pursued postgraduate studies at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering in Belgrade, specializing in Electronics. He earned his master’s degree on July 5, 1994, with a thesis titled "Implementation of Digital Data Encryptors", completing his studies with a flawless average grade of 10.00.

Dr. Petrović defended his doctoral dissertation at the Technical Faculty in Novi Sad on July 7, 2004, under the mentorship of Professor Vladimir Vujičić.

His academic advancements were marked by successive promotions. In March 1995, he was appointed as an assistant at the Technical Faculty in Čačak, and he was reappointed in March 1999 and 2003. He was elected assistant professor in January 2005, associate professor in September 2006, and full professor in March 2011, specializing in the field of Electronics.

Between 1995 and 1998, Dr. Petrović taught Power Converter Management. From 1999 onward, he taught Electronics II and Impulse and Digital Electronics. He also contributed to specialist studies and lectured at satellite centers in Požarevac and Belgrade. Over the years, he has mentored numerous students in the preparation of their diploma theses.

Dr. Petrović's contributions to science have been recognized with several prestigious awards. In 2002, he received the Ministry of Science, Development, and Technology award for the best young scientist. In 2006, alongside Professor Milorad Stevanović, he was honored by the Ministry of Science of the Republic of Srpska for their outstanding scientific publication.

                                                                                                                   RESEARCH ACTIVITY

In his previous work, Dr. Predrag Petrović focused on real-time system management, microprocessor systems, digital signal processing, mathematics, and cryptology. In these fields, he has published over 150 research papers, presented at both international and domestic conferences, and featured in prominent journals in Serbia and abroad.

Dr. Petrović is the author and co-author of seven patents, three university textbooks, three supplementary university textbooks, four internationally recognized monographs, two monographs of national significance, and four course scripts for the subjects he teaches at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

He has actively contributed to scientific advancement through participation in four projects funded by the Ministry of Science of the Republic of Serbia and one project supported by the European Union. Additionally, he is a proud member of MENSA.
