Mihajlo Savić

Dr. Mihajlo Savić serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Informatics at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Appointed to this position on October 29, 2020, he maintains active roles in teaching undergraduate and graduate courses while leading cutting-edge research across multiple interdisciplinary domains. His institutional affiliations include key participation in national and European research consortia focused on digital infrastructure and open science initiatives.

Dr. Savić's research program demonstrates exceptional breadth through Computer Science and Software Engineering applications in diverse fields. His work in Educational Technology includes virtual microscopy systems for histology teaching and cognitive load optimization in multimedia learning. In Digital Health, he develops photogrammetry tools for orthodontic diagnostics, while his Agricultural Technology contributions feature web-based optimization systems like OPTIMILK for dairy rationing. His Network Monitoring expertise spans aircraft communication systems and distributed computing infrastructures, with strong emphasis on practical implementations through Web Technologies and Distributed Systems solutions.

Analysis of his recent publications (2019-2025) reveals a distinctive interdisciplinary trajectory where computer science methodologies solve domain-specific problems across medicine, agriculture, and cultural heritage. His work consistently prioritizes efficiency optimization - whether reducing cognitive load in educational software, minimizing feed costs in dairy farming, or improving aircraft network scheduling. The recurring theme of practical tool development is evident in systems like CodeCrafter for web applications and Scalelite management platforms, demonstrating his commitment to translating theoretical research into deployable solutions.

Dr. Savić actively secures competitive research funding through multiple Horizon Europe and Horizon 2020 projects, including the current Duboke tehnologije u naukama o materijalima initiative (2023-2024) and the UNICEF-supported Jacanje pedagosih i digitalnih kompetencija nastavnika project (2022-2024). His leadership extends to national projects like Nacionalne incijative za Evropski oblak otvorene nauke (2019-2024) and the EU-funded NI4OS-Europe initiative, where he coordinates technical implementations for open science infrastructure across the Balkan region.

Within the University of Banja Luka's research ecosystem, Dr. Savić contributes to the Department of Computer Science and Informatics' computational infrastructure development. His project involvements connect him with international networks including the VI-SEEM consortium for Southeast European research communities and the European Open Science Cloud initiative. Current collaborations span medical institutions for digital pathology applications, agricultural research centers for optimization tools, and cultural heritage organizations for digital preservation systems, positioning him at the intersection of academic research and real-world problem solving.
