Tomislav Erdelić was born on the 23rd of December 1990. in Zagreb, where he attended and finished elementary and high school. In 2009. he continued his education at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing, University of Zagreb, profile Control engineering and automation, where he received his M.Sc. degree with honor (CUM LAUDE). He graduated on the topic „Methods for dynamic path planning in multi-vehicle laboratory setup“ (mentor: professor Stjepan Bogdan, Ph.D.). In November 2014. he started to work as a young researcher on the research project “System for route optimization in dynamic transport environment RC.2.2.08-0022” funded by the European Regional Development Fund. In January 2016. he was selected as an assistant in the engineering sciences, field technology of traffic and transport, at the Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences, University of Zagreb. He obtained the title of doctor of science by finishing the postgraduate doctoral study “Technological systems in traffic and transport” at the Faculty of Transport Sciences in October 2021 with the thesis titled “Solving the Electric Vehicle Routing Problem Using a Hybrid Adaptive Large Neighborhood Search Method” under the mentorship of prof. Tonči Carić, Ph. D. with a grade of SUMMA CUM LAUDE.
Currently works at Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences at the Department of Intelligent Transport Systems, and participates in teaching courses: Algorithms and programming, Database Systems, Advanced Database System, Transport Geoinformation Systems and Transport Optimization. He was also a mentor on a dozen of undergraduate theses and immediate supervisor on several graduate theses. He has a C1.1 certificate in English language and a B1 certificate in German language. His skills include programming in several languages C++, C#, Python, and Java, and a knowledge of working in MATLAB, Android Studio, Linux, ASP.NET, ROS, ILOG, Microsoft Office, Microsoft SQL, MVC, Step 7, etc.
His research interests include optimization procedures, data-mining, and machine learning procedures in traffic and transportation. In the current research process, he published two journal papers indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection (one in the Current Contents database) and eight conference papers.
