I have a graduate degree from the University of Belgrade, Faculty of Agronomy (1983), a masters degree in Agriculture (1989) and a PhD in Plant Ecophysiology from the University of Belgrade (1995). I did postdoctoral work in France, INRA, in the period 1997-2000, in plant architecture modeling and radiation distribution in the plant canopy. I worked as a professor at the Department of Plant Production at the University of Belgrade, Faculty of Agriculture (1984-1998), as a temporary researcher at INRA (France, 1998-2000), as a visiting professor or invited researcher in Brazilian federal /state universities (UFPR, UNICAMP, UFES UENF) or research institutes (EMBRAPA, IAPAR), from 2000 up today. I am currently the invited researcher at UENF in Campos dos Goytacazes-RJ. I published multiple articles in specialized national and international journals, book chapters and works in annals of events, and participated in various international events. Also, I am participating as an associate editor in four international journals, and making a considerable number of revisions, more than 100 every year. My main experience is Agronomy, with an emphasis on Ecophysiology and Agrometeorology, working mainly on the following topics: photossynthesis, morphogenesis, coffee, yerba mate, modeling of light interception and 3D plant architecture.
