dr. Kosta Simonović
Short biography
Kosta Simonović was born in 1985 in Ljubljana, Slovenia. He grow up in Belgrade, Serbia so after graduating from gymnasium in 2004, he started his studies at Faculty of Physics, University of Belgrade. He graduated in 2010 with a thesis entitled Dielectric Properties of Polyethylene Terephthalate Membranes.
For the past two years he had been employed as a teaching assistant at the Faculty of Physics in Belgrade, where his interest area had been surface characterization and modification of various solids. In 2012 he received Marie Curie scholarship and joined Laboratory for Tribology and Interface Nanotechnology as a PhD student under the mentorship of Professor Mitjan Kalin.
