Ljubisa Stankovic

Ljubisa Stankovic is a Full Professor at the University of Montenegro with extensive academic and political experience. He has served as Rector of the University of Montenegro (2003-2008), Member of the National Academy of Sciences and Arts (CANU) since 1996, and Ambassador of Montenegro to the United Kingdom since 2010. As an IEEE Fellow (2012), he has made significant contributions to signal processing research.

His research focuses on Signal Processing, particularly Time-Frequency Analysis, Data Processing in Joint Time and Frequency Domain, Analysis of Non-Stationary Signals, and Radar Signal Processing. With about 300 technical papers published (83 in leading international journals, mainly IEEE editions) and several textbooks in Signal Processing, his work has substantially influenced the field.

The analysis of his recent publications reveals a consistent focus on advanced time-frequency methods applied to radar systems, non-stationary signal analysis, and emerging applications in machine learning and quantum processing. His research shows evolution from theoretical foundations toward practical implementations in communications, radar, and biomedical applications.

His notable scientific achievements include:

• Member of the National Academy of Sciences and Arts (1996)
• Highest State award of Montenegro '13. jul' (1997)
• Fellow of the IEEE (2012)
• Fulbright fellowship (1984-1985)
• Alexander von Humboldt fellowship (1997)
• Volkswagen award grant (2001)
• Scientific Achievement Award by Montenegrin Academy of Science and Art (1991)

Stankovic has held significant editorial positions including Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, IEEE Signal Processing Letters, and IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing since 2003. He was also a member of the IEEE Signal Processing Society's Technical Committee on Theory and Methods (2002-2008). His research group received a Volkswagen Foundation research grant (2001-2003), demonstrating his ability to secure competitive funding. Beyond academia, he has held prominent political positions including Vice-president of Montenegro (1989-1991) and Member of Yugoslav Parliament (1992-1996).
