معرفی
Dr. Dragan Rodić is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Technical Sciences, University of Novi Sad, affiliated with the Department of Production Engineering and the Chair of Machining. His career spans roles from Research Associate to Assistant Professor, culminating in his current position since 2025. He serves as Secretary of the Chair since 2020.
Dr. Rodić’s research focuses on advanced machining processes, particularly electrical discharge machining (EDM) of nonconductive materials. He employs fuzzy logic and ANFIS systems for modeling tool wear, cutting forces, and thermal behavior. His work addresses energy efficiency in machining, sustainable production, and optimization of abrasive water jet cutting.
His publications (2013–2022) reveal a consistent emphasis on thermal analysis, surface roughness prediction, and intelligent optimization in manufacturing. Key subfields include EDM of ceramics, jet-assisted turning, and inverse heat transfer modeling.
Dr. Rodić contributes to international journals like Neural Computing and Applications and Journal of Cleaner Production, with collaborations across departments. His work bridges theoretical models and practical industrial applications in manufacturing engineering.
