    Bio:
    Domagoj Kovačević was born on January 14, 1968 in Požega, Croatia. He graduated from the High School in Zagreb. In 1986, he won bronze medal at the International Mathematical Olympiad in Poland. After the military service, he enrolled at the Department of Mathematics at the University of Zagreb. In 1993, he graduated and was enrolled as a PhD student at the University of Utah. His major interest during the graduate study was representation theory. In 2000, he came back and started to teach mathematics in XV. High School. In 2006, he defended his PhD thesis at the University of Utah. The thesis advisor was professor Gordan Savin. After that, Domagoj Kovačević became a Senior Instructor at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing at the University of Zagreb and started research collaboration with professor Stjepan Meljanac from Ruđer Bošković Intitute, where five papers were produced. In 2012, he became an Assistant Professor and started doing representation theory again. At the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing he taught several undergraduate courses.
