Professor Miodrag Zlatanovic was born in 1947 in Belgrade, Serbia. He graduated at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Belgrade University and received his Master of Science and PhD degree. He joined the Institute of Physics in Belgrade in 1970 and the Faculty of Electrical Engineering in 1972. He was visiting scientist at the direct energy conversion group at the Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands. He is co-author of over 200 scientific papers in the field of optical spectroscopy, magneto hydrodynamic energy conversion, sensors and plasma surface engineering and he has given several invited talks at the International scientific conferences. As the author of over 100 technical contributions in the field of plasma surface technology he got the award for innovations and the gold medal for contribution to the development of tractor industry. He pioneered the work in the field of combined diffusion and deposition techniques which is today one of the most beneficial industrial applications of plasma surface treatments. As one of the founders of University-Industry Center for Plasma Technology he successfully combined laboratory results and mass production know-how. Currently he is professor at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering conducting courses in Sensors, Engineering Thermodynamics and Renewable Energy Conversion, Plasma Technology and Atomic and Molecular Spectroscopy.
