SHORT BIOGRAPHY:

Education
I studied biology at the Faculty of Science in Zagreb. In 2000 I defended my doctoral dissertation entitled "Meadows of the Molinio-Arrhenatherete class in northwestern Croatia". For further scientific education I spent one year in Vienna:
• at the Institute of Ecology and Conservation, Faculty of Science and Mathematics, University of Vienna
• and at the Institute for Botany, University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Science for the purpose of a scientific training in the field of vegetation ecology.

Employment
1992: trainee curator of the entomological collection of the Croatian Natural History Museum in Zagreb
1993-2004: assistant in the Department of Botany at the Faculty of Science in Zagreb
2010- present: first assistant professor and later associate professor in the Department of General Sciences at the Faculty of Geotechnical Engineering in Varaždin

Scientific work
Scientific interests: non-forest vegetation (habitats), phytosociology, vegetation ecology, vascular plants, alien invasive plant species, nature protection, phytoremediation, and entomology. I have published more than 50 scientific papers that are cited more than 750 times in the WoS CC database.

Professional work - database
I am the author of a phytosociological database: "Phytosociological Database of Non-Forest Vegetation in Croatia" which is part of the international databases:
• European Vegetation Archive – EVA (http://euroveg.org/eva-database)
• and sPlot - The Global Vegetation Database (https://www.idiv.de/en/splot.html).

Some of the responsibilities at the Faculty of Geotechnical Engineering
2011-2013: ECTS coordinator
2013-present: member of the editorial board of the journal "Inženjerstvo okoliša - Environmental Engineering"
2015-2022: head of the Department of General Sciences
