Some of the key projects I am working on include robotic automation of metal welding using 3D cameras, anomaly detection in thermal power plant operations, and continuous development of an automatic speech recognition system for the Serbian language. I\u2019m also engaged in scientific research, currently focused on applying state-space models to tackle pressing challenges in machine learning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dr. Gorana Goji\u0107: <\/strong> \u201cI\u2019m working on several projects, including <strong>AI-WELD<\/strong>, which focuses on automating welding using collaborative robots and AI-based computer vision algorithms. I\u2019m also part of the team developing <strong>IVIAN<\/strong>, a tool for automatic anonymization of Serbian text that currently masks 13 types of personal data &#8211; with ongoing improvements. Another key project involves applying AI methods in planning and production processes in collaboration with EPS and the Mihajlo Pupin Institute, where we aim to predict component wear in industrial systems before it reaches critical levels.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dr. Vukan Ninkovi\u0107:<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong> \u201cI\u2019m engaged in the <strong>AI-WELD<\/strong> project, which develops AI systems for welding automation, and also in the bilateral <strong>REST-on-AIoT<\/strong> project with the People\u2019s Republic of China. Additionally, I contribute to a predictive maintenance project with EPS and support the preparation of various European and national projects within the IVI team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These successful young researchers recognized IVI as a place where they could deepen their knowledge and skills in AI while continuously improving. <strong>Vladimir Vincan<\/strong> shares:&nbsp; \u201cThe Institute for Artificial Intelligence of Serbia allows me to work on cutting-edge research problems and contribute to projects that have both scientific value and real-world impact. The Institute also supports my career development \u2014 from working on my PhD to having access to mentors and collaborating with experts across various fields.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His colleague, <strong>Dr. Gorana Goji\u0107<\/strong>, adds that learning about an institute focused on applied AI research was a decisive factor: <em>&nbsp;<\/em>\u201cI wanted an environment where I could work on real-world problems using AI methods. IVI has provided that through a variety of both industrial and academic projects.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dr. Vukan Ninkovi\u0107<\/strong>, who comes from a telecommunications background, says he saw IVI as a place where the future is already taking shape: \u201cArtificial intelligence is fundamentally transforming the way we live and communicate, and it will have a major role in shaping future generations of telecommunications standards, including 6G.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The three of them were selected by IVI as <strong>Junior Top Performers<\/strong>, recognized for their exceptional scientific contributions, initiative, and strong team spirit. They all see IVI\u2019s supportive and stimulating environment as key to ongoing progress and success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Vladimir Vincan<\/strong> reflects:&nbsp; \u201cWorking in a team of top experts fosters my professional growth and allows me to constantly learn and improve. Honest and open communication within the team creates a healthy work atmosphere where ideas are shared freely and challenges are addressed constructively. I especially value our collective commitment to shared goals &#8211; the motivation and dedication of each team member truly enhance the quality of our work and the success of our projects.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dr. Gorana Goji\u0107<\/strong> emphasizes: <em>\u201c<\/em>I value an environment that encourages knowledge-sharing, sparks creativity, and focuses on developing solutions that have real-world applications.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dr. Vukan Ninkovi\u0107<\/strong> agrees with his colleagues and adds: \u201cWhat I appreciate most is the team cohesion and atmosphere of trust. Every discussion is quick, open, and clear. Well-defined roles and strong organization boost our efficiency, while everyone\u2019s willingness to help creates a space where ideas thrive and we grow together.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","news-category":[],"class_list":["post-3225","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>IVI\u2019s Top Junior Researchers: Scientific Contribution, Innovation, and Team Spirit in Advancing Artificial Intelligence - Istra\u017eiva\u010dko-razvojni institut za ve&scaron;ta\u010dku inteligenciju<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/ivi.ac.rs\/en\/news\/ivis-top-junior-researchers-scientific-contribution-innovation-and-team-spirit-in-advancing-artificial-intelligence\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"IVI\u2019s Top Junior Researchers: Scientific Contribution, Innovation, and Team Spirit in Advancing Artificial Intelligence - Istra\u017eiva\u010dko-razvojni institut za ve&scaron;ta\u010dku inteligenciju\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Vladimir Vincan: \u201cAs a member of the HCI group, I am involved in projects that explore the intersection of human\u2013computer interaction and artificial intelligence.
