ELFAK

The Faculty of Electronic Engineering (ELFAK), University of Nis, Serbia, was founded as a state educational and scientific institution in 1960. The academic undergraduate, master and Ph.D. studies, as well as specialization studies, are carried out at the ELFAK. Currently about 2000 undergraduate and graduate students are enrolled at the ELFAK. The ELFAK has 81 faculty members and 83 teaching or research assistants. The modern faculty building consists of 4 lecture halls, 40 classrooms, 40 laboratories, a computer centre, library, section for foreign languages, etc.

Professor Vasic's pioneering work on iterative decoding and low-density parity check (LDPC) codes, as well as his design of structured codes with parity check matrices composed of circulants, have enabled low-complexity iterative decoder implementations. His recent work has resulted in theoretical advances in analytical characterization of the error-floor phenomenon, and in codes and decoders for the binary symmetric channel with the best error-floor performance known today. He was a Principal Investigator on a number of projects funded by the National Science Foundation, DARPA and industry, which are related to LDPC codes. Prof. Djordjevic has been engaged in seven scientific projects supported by the Ministry of Science of Republic of Serbia, two C.O.S.T. actions and one international project supported by Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
