He attended postgraduate scientific study “Technical and Technological Systems in Transport and Transportation” at the same Faculty, where in 2003 he earned an academic degree Master of Science in the field of technical sciences, field of Traffic Technology and Transportation by defending the Master’s thesis “Possibilities of implementing mobile internet in intelligent transport systems”. In 2005, he achieved a Ph. D. in a field of technical sciences, field of Technological Systems in Traffic and Transport by defending the doctoral dissertation entitled “Information distribution model for users of traffic system” at the Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences, University of Zagreb.

As a researcher, he participates in project ideas that are funded by the Faculty: System of automatic identification and informing of mobile entities in the traffic environment (2015 – 2016), Research Context Using Smart Mobile Devices and Related Information and Communication Services (2015 – 2016), Research on the security of the use of modern information and communication equipment and services in traffic vehicles (2015. – 2016.) and Possibilities of Applying Information and Communication Technologies and Services in the function of Carpooling Systems (2015 - 2016). In the current scientific and professional work, the focus has been on the research, development and implementation of information and communication technologies and services in the field of transport and traffic technology.

It is possible to determine the following narrow areas of scientific and professional interests based on the published papers: information and communication technologies in traffic environment, implementation of information and communication technologies in education (e/m-Learning), optimization of traffic/communication networks and traffic simulation, safety and security in the field of information and communication traffic, e-forensics.

He participated in several scientific and professional international conferences in country and abroad, where he has personally presented most of the papers and research results. He also held three lectures and three keynote lectures. For the past few years, he had been elected for a member of organizational committees of international scientific conferences:

International Scientific Conference Ports and Waterways - POWA (Croatia);
