 Significant Performances in the Period Following Educational Experience

•  Period following educational experience up to now – Performing research in the areas of Signal Processing Systems Development and Implementation (the period after 2004.) and of the Instantaneous Frequency Estimation (the period before 2004.). Within the period after 2004., multicycle non-adaptive and multicycle smart (signal adaptive) systems for time-frequency and space/spatial-frequency analysis, as well as for optimal nonstationary (time-varying) filtering have been developed and implemented. Developed systems for optimal nonstationary filtering are theoretically related to the research in the area of Instantaneous Frequency Estimation, performed before 2004. Results of the performed research are published in the leading international journals, by the leading international publishers, or presented at the most important scientific international and regional conferences and symposiums.
