Biography
Alan Jović was born on September 24th, 1982 in Zagreb, Croatia. He graduated with a degree in computer science at the University of Zagreb, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing (FER) on July 13th 2006. He received his Ph.D. at FER on April 20th, 2012, with the topic: "Data mining of biomedical time series based on computer framework for feature extraction." During his doctoral studies, he attended two seminars abroad: in Leuvenu, Belgium, 2007, and in Marktoberdorf, Germany, 2008. He worked as expert assistant at the Institute Rudjer Boskovic, Zagreb (09/16 - 03/17), as assistant at FER, department ZEMRIS (04/07 - 04/12), as senior assistant at FER, ZEMRIS (05/12 - 5/16), as assistant professor (06/16 - 03/2020), and as associate professor (04/2020 till today).
He received awards and acknowledgments: Science Award by University of Zagreb Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing in 2024, TopPicks 2021 acknowledgment by IEEE Hardware Security and Trust Technical Committee for a scientific paper, "Vera Johanides" award for young scientist, awarded by Croatian Academy of Engineering for year 2016, "Josip Lončar" silver plaque for particularly successful doctoral dissertation and scientific work in ac. year 2011/2012, awarded by FER; and award for 2nd place in the young investigator category at MEDICON 2010 conference, awarded by IFMBE.
He participated in an international project (European FP6 project "HEARTFAID", Institute Rudjer Boskovic) and in a Croatian Ministry of Science project ("Computer environments for ubiquituous distributed systems", FER). He was the principal investigator of Croatian Foundation for Science early career project "A software system for parallel analysis of multiple heterogeneous time series with application in biomedicine", MULTISAB. (2015.-2018.). He is the principal investigator on the current Croatian Foundation for Science science project: "Algorithms for efficient biomedical time series analysis", ALFABEATS (2024.-2028.). He was principle investigator on three national industrial projects and collaborator on three national industry projects.
He received Croatian scientific title of scienfic advisor in the area of technical sciences, the field of computer science on Feb. 4, 2022. According to currently valid Croatian scientific categorization, he is the author of 29 papers in A-grade journals (CC, SCI, SCI-E, ESCI), 3 scientific book chapters, 2 papers in other journals and 47 papers in proceedings of international conferences, out of which he personally presented 13 papers. He currently has: 1.4k+ citations in WoS Core Collection (h-index 15), 2.5k+ citations in Scopus (h-index 19), and 4.1k+ citations in Google Scholar (h-index 23) databases. He reviewed more than 150 papers for international journals and conferences.
He is an associate member of Croatian Academy of Engineering from 2025. He is Editor-in-Chief of the scientific journal "CIT. Journal of Computing and Information Technology" from 01/2023. He was the local chair of the top (A*) international scientific conference in the field of formal methods "Computer-Aided Verification" (CAV 2025). He was a program committee member for several international conferences and has held several invited lectures. He is a member of the organizing committee of the international ICT convention MIPRO as well as conference chair of MIPRO's "Artificial Intelligence Systems" conference. He is a member of IEEE, EMBS and MIPRO organizations.
He was a mentor for 3 successfully defended doctoral theses and about 80 final and diploma theses. From 2007 to the present, he has participated in teaching at FER in 5 graduate courses and 2 undergraduate courses. He proposed 5 new courses in the new FER-3 curriculum. He is the author of 2 university manuals and 1 script.
He is a co-inventor of 1 Croatian patent: "Kontrola kvalitete automatizirane obročne proizvodnje upotrebom proširene teselacijske entropije procesnih signala." (in English: "Quality control in automatic batch production using expanded tessellation entropy of process signals"). He participated in several industrial projects in the field of data mining.
His professional areas of interest include: knowledge discovery in datasets (data mining), application of computing in medicine and knowledge representation in computer systems.
He speaks Croatian (maternal), English (~C1), German (~B1) and French (~B1).
