The Belgrade daily newspaper “24 sata” (24 hours) carried an article about about young scientists returning to Serbia, and their colleagues thinking about leaving. Dr Nenad Vukmirovic, recently employed as Assistant Professor at the Institute of Physics Belgrade, and the newest member of its Scientific Computing Laboratory, gave an interview to the newspaper. "When I finished my doctorate and postdoctoral training, I wanted to choose a place where I will work permanently. Serbia currently offers greater continuity of research positions for young and successful scientists. For competitive research in my field, I primarily need to have access to a powerful supercomputer, and the Scientific Computing Laboratory at the Institute of Physics Belgrade offers these conditions".

Dr Nenad Vukmirovic graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Belgrade where he obtained in parallel BSc degrees in Physics and Electrical Engineering. He received his PhD from the University of Leeds. Dr Vukmirovic was awarded by both the British and the World Society of Electrical Engineers for the best doctorate that year. He then spent three successfull years as a postdoctoral fellow at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Finally he decided to return to Serbia and accept a permanent position at the IPB. "I came to Serbia, because I believe that when it comes to science, successful people can thrive here", said Vukmirovic.
