Miljan Milosevic Author

Dr. Milos Kojic is one of the leading scientists in the computational mechanics and finite element method and its application in engineering and biomedicine. He is currently Full Member and Professor of Nanomedicine, Department of Nanomedicine, The Methodist Hospital Research Institute, Houston, TX, USA, as well as the Director of the Bioengineering R&D Center, Kragujevac, Serbia. In his long professional carrier, Dr. Kojic has been Professor of Mechanics at University of Kragujevac, Serbia (retired), Visiting Scholar of MIT; Research and Development Engineer of ADINA R&D, Boston; Senior Research Scientist, Harvard School of Public Health; and Member of the Serbian Academy of Science and Arts, from 2009. Dr. Kojic’s research is primarily concerning the finite element method, implementation in engineering and biomedicine; and software development. He has formulated and implemented a number of original concepts and solutions, among which is the Governing Parameter Method for inelastic analysis of solids and structures, and recently the smeared finite element models for field problems and mechanics, also known as the Kojic Transport Model (KTM). He initiated and has been PI of the FE software package PAK for solids and fluids, field and coupled problems, and biomechanics. The PAK software has been developing over decades with participation of several generations; today, it is the basic tool for applications in industry and in research within various domestic and international grants. Dr. Kojic is the lead author of over 10 textbooks in Serbian and two books by world leading publishers: Inelastic Analysis of Solids and Structures, from Springer, and Computer Modeling in Bioengineering, from J. Wiley and Sons. Dr. Miljan Milosevic is a Senior Research Engineer at Bioengineering R&D Center, Kragujevac Serbia. He also serves as an Associate Professor at Metropolitan University, Belgrade, teaching courses in informatics and its applications. Dr. Milosevic received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the Faculty of Engineering Sciences, University of Kragujevac. His research interests are centered primarily on the development of the finite element methodology in bioengineering and implementation to the software package PAK. He has been leading research related to the creation of interfaces for use of the software PAK, including connection to imaging data. Dr. Arturas Ziemys is an Assistant Professor in the Program of Mathematics in Medicine, Department of Nanomedicine, Radiation Oncology, at The Methodist Hospital Research Institute, Houston, TX, USA. His professional experience includes being a research Scientist at the Institute of Biochemistry, Vilnius, Lithuania; Lecturer in Molecular Biology and Bioinformatics at Vytautas Magnus University, Kaunas, Lithuania. His research focus includes enzymatic catalysis, biophysics of protein function and structure, mass transport in nanoporous materials, nanomedicine, bioengineering and drug delivery. This research integrates in silico, in vitro, in vivo, and clinical aspects. His most recent publications focus on drug delivery and therapeutic resistance involving small molecules and immunotherapies.
