I’m a researcher and Privatdozent at the University of Stuttgart and an IEEE Senior Member. I’m a member of Service Computing, a fantastic department at the forefront of research on intelligent, adaptive, and distributed service-oriented systems. I study the art and science of AI planning systems and applications.

My academic journey began in Slovenia, where I studied Computer and Information Science at the University of Maribor. This foundation led me to the Netherlands, where I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Groningen in 2015 and continued as a postdoctoral researcher until 2017. Between academic pursuits, I applied my knowledge in industry as CTO at Sustainable Buildings (2017-2018), gaining hands-on experience in technology leadership. My research in AI planning has evolved to focus on engineering dimensions, particularly systems engineering and domain model engineering, culminating in my habilitation at the University of Stuttgart in Germany in 2025. Along the way, I have had the chance of being a visiting researcher at Carnegie Mellon University and their Software and Societal Systems Department (2023), further broadening my international perspective.

I was born and raised in the vibrant city of Bitola, Macedonia.
