Dejan Lukić serves as Full Professor and Vice-Dean for Investments and Cooperation with Industry at the Faculty of Technical Sciences, University of Novi Sad. He has held progressively senior academic positions since joining the institution in 2000, including Director of the Department of Production Engineering (2021-2024) and Assistant Director (2018-2021). His academic journey began with undergraduate studies in Mechanical Engineering at the same faculty, followed by master's (2007) and doctoral degrees (2012) in specialized production engineering fields.
His educational background includes:
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Technical Sciences (1999)
- Master's thesis: 'Development of a system for automated design of technological processes for manufacturing plastic injection molds' (2007)
- Doctoral dissertation: 'Development of a general model of technological preparation of production' (2012)
Professor Lukić's research focuses on process planning, production optimization, and techno-economic analysis in manufacturing systems. His work bridges theoretical frameworks with practical industrial applications, particularly in virtual design, CAPP systems integration, and optimization of manufacturing processes. He has made significant contributions to the application of digital technologies in production engineering, including STEP-NC implementation, fuzzy logic for quality control, and collaborative process planning systems.
His publication record demonstrates consistent advancement in manufacturing process optimization, with recent work emphasizing multi-criteria decision making, thin-walled structure machining, and digital integration of manufacturing systems. The research trajectory shows evolution from foundational work in traditional process planning toward contemporary applications involving artificial intelligence, collaborative systems, and Industry 4.0 technologies.
Professor Lukić has been actively involved in academic service, participating in numerous evaluation committees, professional competitions, and serving as representative of Serbia in the Assembly of the Institute for Materials Testing. His industrial engagement includes consulting on CE/3A product marking, technical system maintenance, and implementation of application software solutions.
As an educator and mentor, he has supervised more than 45 undergraduate and master's theses, completed one doctoral dissertation supervision, and currently guides three doctoral candidates. He teaches a comprehensive curriculum spanning process planning, production optimization, logistics, and technological preparation of production across all academic levels.
His leadership extends to heading the Master of Professional Studies in Production Engineering program and serving on program committees for multiple scientific conferences and journals in mechanical engineering. Professor Lukić also maintains active industry collaboration through solving professional problems related to product development, manufacturing systems maintenance, and specialized training programs.
