Igor Đukić

Associate Professor Igor Đukić is affiliated with the Department of Wood Technology at the University of Zagreb's Faculty of Forestry and Wood Technology. His professional trajectory includes roles from Junior Researcher (2002–2009) to Assistant Professor (2011–2018) before achieving his current rank. He specializes in woodworking machinery optimization, automation, and noise/vibration control in wood processing. Research focuses on surface roughness analysis, energy efficiency in machining, and tool durability.

Education details are implied through his career progression, though specific degrees are not listed. His work spans experimental studies on material properties (e.g., oak, thermally modified beech) and ergonomic aspects of forestry machinery. Key studies include vibration reduction in chainsaws, optimization of band saw performance, and energy analysis of wood residues for pellets. He has contributed to numerous international conferences and collaborates with industry partners like Spačva dd.

Research highlights include developing filtering criteria for surface roughness signals using FFT, analyzing saw blade wear patterns, and investigating the impact of wood modifications on joint strength. His lab work involves experimental setups with stroboscopes, digital cameras, and CAD simulations for precision measurements. He teaches advanced courses in wood machining optimization and has advised on projects related to sustainable forest-based industries.
