About
I am a PhD candidate and teaching assistant at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Sarajevo, focusing on explainable AI and computer vision to develop trustworthy, human-centred AI solutions. My research spans interpretable image classification and practical AI for industry, including collaboration with Infineon Technologies on explainable defect classification in semiconductor front-end production. My work has been presented at prestigious AI conferences such as ECAI, ICANN, and XAI, with keynote talk at ICAT 2025.
