Macedonia in the department of Building Structures and Material: Design, Analysis and Testing. He started her bachelor studies in the academic year 2004/2005 at the Faculty of Civil Engineering in Skopje (module: structural engineering) and graduated in October 2008. He continued his studies doing master program at the Faculty of Civil Engineering in Skopje and he earned a MSc degree in Earthquake Engineering in June 2013 after successfully passing the exams and defending his master thesis titled “Nonlinear behavior of soft story buildings”. His wider interests include earthquake engineering, assessment, repair and strengthening of masonry heritage structures in which he elaborated his doctoral dissertation „ Assessment and upgrading of seismic resilience of urban cultural heritage centers“, successfully defended it in 2024. In the academic year 2017/2018 he has successfully completed Advanced Masters in Structural Analysis of Monuments and Historical Constructions from SAHC – consortium institutions: University of Minho (Guimarães, Portugal), Czech Technical University in Prague (Prague, Czech Republic), Technical University of Catalonia (Barcelona, Spain), University of Padova (Padova, Italy). During his work engagement in IZIIS, he has taken part in several scientific-research projects. He participated in seminars and workshops (Eurocodes Balkan Summer School 2021, SARCOS COST- RILEM Course 2018, PARFORCE Ph.D. Advanced Training Course 2023), workshops for elementary schools aimed at raising public awareness for protection from earthquake consequences, post-earthquake missions of UKIM-IZIIS in safety assessment of facilities in affected areas in the country and the region, trainings, lectures, seismic safety evaluation of buildings and structures of social significance. He is actively involved in the professional applicative activities of IZIIS in the field of the design of earthquake resistant structures, repair and strengthening of reinforced concrete and masonry structures, earthquake protection of traditional masonry buildings and monuments, as well as in the work of professional commission team for issuing documents for projected and performed degree of mechanical resistance, stability, and seismic protection of buildings in the Republic of Macedonia. He participated in the production of original instructional materials for the control of project documentation done by application of the Eurocodes. He has published as an author or co-author multiple papers in the field of earthquake engineering, in journals with impact factors, as well as conference proceedings with an international editorial board.
