Prof. Dr. Ivan Kaštelan
Ivan Kaštelan received the BSc, MSc and PhD degrees in electrical and computer engineering from the Faculty of Technical Sciences, University of Novi Sad, Serbia in 2008, 2009 and 2014 respectively. He received the award for the best student of the Faculty of Technical Sciences in 2008 and the Faculty of Technical Sciences award “Momčilo Momo Novković“ for his teaching work in 2014. He is currently an Associate Professor at the Department of Computing and System Control at the University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Technical Sciences, teaching courses in digital and computer system design and the design of algorithms. As an instructor at NIT Institute, he is teaching the Python programming courses. He participated in multiple European (FP7, Horizon 2020, IPA) and national projects. He was the deputy coordinator of the E2LP project that developed the learning platform used in 8 higher education institutions across the European continent. Currently he is a coordinator of the project funded by the Government of AP Vojvodina in the field of applicability of renewable energy sources. He published 7 papers in international journals and more than 80 papers in the conference proceedings. He is also a co-author of 13 patents.
