I am a researcher in mechatronics, soft robotics, precision engineering and energy harvesting. I participated in several research projects, funded by EU, national and local funding sources. I have co-authored a number of papers in peer-reviewed journals and international conferences. Currently, I hold the position of assistant professor at the University of Rijeka, Faculty of Engineering (RITEH) and I am Head of the Laboratory for Precision Engineering and Micro- and Nanosystems Technologies at the Centre for Micro- and Nanosciences and Technologies (NANORI). I am a full-time employee at RITEH where I teach Mechatronics systems control, Mechatronics systems components, Fundamentals of mechatronics and Advanced control methods in precision engineering.
