Bio:

Dražen Adamović received a PhD in mathematics from the University of Zagreb in 1996. He has been promoted to the rank of Associate Professor of Mathematics at the University of Zagreb in 2002, and to the rank of Full Professor in 2007. His main fields of research are the theory of vertex algebras and the representation theory of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras. He published 44 research papers. He was invited speaker on international conferences in Notre Dame, Banff, Beijing, Chengdu, Galway, Pisa, Chenai, Allahabad, Bangalore, Sendai, Vienna, New Orleans and others. He is a member of Croatian Mathematical Society and American Mathematical Society. He is Managing Editor of the scientific journal “Glasnik matematički” and member of editorial boards of j “European Journal of Mathematics”, “Central European Journal of Mathematics” and “Mathematical Communications”. He is one of the organizers of five confererences on Representation Theory in Dubrovnik.
