I am a Brunel Postdoctoral Fellow funded by the SuSTaIn initiative at the Statistics Group of the Department of Mathematics, University of Bristol. I completed my PhD in Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the Centre for Communications Research, Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of Bristol in 2009. My PhD project was sponsored by Toshiba Research Europe Ltd. Before that, in 2006, I received a Dipl.Math.-Inf. degree in mathematics and theoretical computer science from University of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Reading group

I coordinate the meetings of the cross-departmental reading group on Information & Communications Theory. We meet on Fridays to read and discuss recent papers relevant to the topics in information theory and wireless communications. If you wish to be added to the mailing list of the reading group in order to receive reminders of the upcoming meetings and papers, please let me know.
