Prof. Dr. Bogdan Pavković
Dr. Pavkovic is the NIT Institute CTO, Safety, in charge of Quality, and Security consultancy. Associate Professor at the Faculty of Technical Sciences - University of Novi Sad, and Functional Safety Instructor at the University of California San Diego.
Previously he served as the Technical Group Lead and Software Architect at the TTTech Automotive for 7 years;
He focuses on automotive time-triggered deterministic communication, AUTOSAR layered automotive software stack, and application of ISO26262 in real automotive projects for the industry-leading research and development activities across several design centers in Europe.
He is in charge of around 30 people working on cutting-edge computer vision and machine learning optimizations for embedded automotive platforms for top-tier OEMs from both camera and lidar domains, with regard to their appropriate design and utilization with regard to safety. He has extensive professional experience in planning, executing, leading, supporting, and analyzing research projects and technologies in computer engineering, communication technologies, and automotive software.
Dr. Pavkovic holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science on cross-stack quality of service assurance in wireless sensor networks for Smart Homes and Cities from the Grenoble Institute of Technology (France). Furthermore, he holds the Academic Safety Engineer degree from the FH CampusWien - Vienna Institute for Safety and Systems Engineering (Austria).
At the Faculty of Technical Sciences, Novi Sad, he teaches automotive courses on modern vehicle communication and functionally safe software stacks. He authored over 30 publications, holds several patents, and has given over several dozens of talks at international conferences and workshops.
