I was born in Belgrade, the capital of former Yugoslavia, in 1980. After an early education in Belgrade and New Delhi, India, and high-school days at St. Lawrence College in Athens, Greece, I obtained a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin - Madison in December 2001. In December 2003, I completed my M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where I am currently a PhD candidate in the Communications Group. My advisor is Prof. Pramod Viswanath.
