معرفی
Alan Ćatović is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Sarajevo. His academic focus centers on defense technology, ballistics, and mechanical engineering, with specialized expertise in terminal ballistics, munitions design, and computational modeling of weapon systems. He maintains regular consultation hours and has authored several academic books on dynamics and astronomy.
Research Focus: Dr. Ćatović's investigations span ammunition efficiency, demining robotics, telescopic instrumentation, and explosive warhead mechanics. His work frequently employs numerical simulations to analyze projectile behavior, armor penetration, and blast dynamics. Recent studies explore innovative unmanned ground vehicles for humanitarian demining and optical systems for amateur astronomy.
Publication Trends: His 15 most recent articles (2021–2025) demonstrate consistent focus on terminal ballistics and defense applications. Over 80% utilize computational methods to study projectile-target interactions, with emerging themes in humanitarian demining technology and telescopic instrumentation. Key methodologies include finite element analysis, stochastic modeling, and experimental ballistics validation.
Projects: Currently leads the research initiative Lasersko mjerenje 3D deformacija čvrstih tijela (2020–2021) at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, developing advanced deformation measurement techniques for solid bodies.
