Nedim Pervan is a Full Professor at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. His academic position focuses on mechanical engineering with emphasis on product design, structural analysis, and biomechanical applications. He maintains an active research profile with numerous publications and collaborations across various engineering disciplines, with office hours every workday from 09:00 to 10:00 in room 314. Professor Pervan's research interests span multiple domains of mechanical engineering. He has made significant contributions to additive manufacturing, particularly in polymer gear production and analysis. His work explores mechanical properties, failure mechanisms, and service life of polymer gears manufactured through additive processes. Additionally, he has conducted extensive research on external fixation devices used in orthopedic treatments, analyzing their biomechanical characteristics and structural stability under various loading conditions. His expertise extends to finite element analysis, structural optimization, and the application of 3D scanning technologies within Industry 4.0 contexts. His research demonstrates a strong connection between theoretical engineering principles and practical applications across automotive, medical devices, and manufacturing industries. His recent publication record reveals a strong trend toward interdisciplinary research bridging mechanical engineering with biomedical applications and advanced manufacturing technologies. A significant portion of his work focuses on polymer gears and additive manufacturing, examining material properties and performance characteristics. Another substantial research stream involves biomechanical engineering, particularly the analysis of external fixation devices. His publications demonstrate a methodological approach combining experimental testing with finite element analysis. More recently, his research has expanded into 3D scanning applications in manufacturing and the electrification of transportation systems in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Professor Pervan has been involved in numerous research projects that have advanced the capabilities of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. These include the "Integrated Intelligent CAD System for Interactive Design, Analysis and Prototyping of Compression and Torsion Springs" (2022), "Opremanje Laboratorije za razvoj i dizajn proizvoda" (2020), and "Modernizacija Laboratorije za ispitivanje mašinskih konstrukcija" (2019-2020). These projects have focused on developing advanced laboratory facilities, intelligent CAD systems, and equipment for mechanical design and analysis, with several specifically targeting 3D scanning technology implementation. His collaborative work extends across multiple research teams within the Department of Mechanical Constructions at the University of Sarajevo. He frequently collaborates with researchers including Adis Muminović, Elmedin Mešić, and Muamer Delić on projects related to additive manufacturing, biomechanical engineering, and structural analysis. His research group appears actively involved in both theoretical and applied engineering research with practical industrial and medical applications, contributing significantly to Bosnia and Herzegovina's engineering research landscape.
