Čedomir Marković is a Full Professor at the Faculty of Forestry, University of Belgrade. He has held academic positions since 1991, progressing from junior assistant to full professor by 2010. His research focuses on forest entomology, forest protection, and xylophagous insects. He teaches courses in forest entomology, phytopharmacy, and forest protection at both undergraduate and graduate levels, including English-language programs. His work spans over 30 years, with contributions to understanding bark beetle biology, leaf miner ecology, and pest management strategies in forestry.

Education:

• BSc (1991) in Forestry, University of Belgrade
• MA (1995) in Forest Protection
• PhD (1999) on oak bark beetle biology

Research Interests:

• Forest entomology & pest management
• Insect-plant interactions
• Biological control of forest pests
• Biodiversity conservation in forest ecosystems

Recent Research Trends: His recent work (2020-2025) emphasizes urban-rural insect biodiversity gradients, climate impacts on leaf miner communities, and forest regeneration techniques. Key focus areas include oak species health, Scolytinae beetles, and gypsy moth host preferences.

Grants & Collaborations: Active in Serbia's Ministry-funded projects on forest health (e.g., 451-03-137/2025-03/200169) and Czech Republic collaborations (CZ.02.1.01/0.0/16_019/000 0845). Leads studies on Phytophthora pathogens and biopolymer-based pest control.

Labs & Teams: Affiliated with the Faculty's Forest Entomology and Protection research groups. Collaborates with international teams on Balkan forest biodiversity studies.
