About me

I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the Robotics and Perception Group (RPG), supervised by Professor Davide Scaramuzza, and an Associated Researcher at the ETH AI Center. My primary research interests are in sequence modeling and machine learning fundamentals. This theoretical work directly informs the development of efficient neural network architectures, with practical applications such as neuromorphic (event-based) vision systems. I am also interested in dynamical systems, theoretical computer science, and applied mathematics, particularly where these fields intersect with computational and mathematical challenges. If you would like to discuss my work or explore potential collaborations, please feel free to contact me or check my recent papers in the Publications tab.

Before joining RPG, I obtained my Master's degree in Computer Science from the Faculty of Technical Sciences in Novi Sad, Serbia. During my master's studies, I completed an internship at the University of Cambridge, supervised by Professor Pietro Liò.
