Electrical Engineering Department, University Sts Cyril and Methodius

• Skopje, Macedonia

• Professor

  • 1976 - 2003

  Doing pioneering steps for engineering and computer science in Macedonia. The following pioneering steps for Electrical Engineering department were done: first electronic devices sold to external customers 1976, first patent filed 1978, first parallel programming done 1983, first robot built 1983, first funded project obtained 1984, first paper published in world class journal 1985. The pioneering works done in Macedonia which are pioneering results worldwide are: relating robotics and genetic engineering 1985, proposing DNA is a database 1987, first control of a robot using spoken commands 1986, first control of a physical object, a robot, using energy emanating from human brain via EEG signals 1988, first control of a robot using signals from eyes movement 1989.

• JICA Fellow

  • 1984 - 1984

  Educational program. Most Important event: During this work, at Akihabara Market in Tokyo, a state of the art mobile robot, Movit Line Tracer produced by Elehobby, was purchased. That was the robot that 1988 was the first one controlled by EEG signals. Educational program.

Computer and Information Sciences (COINS) Department, University of Massachusetts at Amherst

• Fulbright Fellow

  • 1980 - 1981

  Solving delayed reinforcement learning problem using neural network Problem stated inside Adaptive Network (ANW) Group, with two challenging instances: 1) learning path in a maze proposed by Rich Sutton and 2) learning to balance an inverted pendulum proposed by Charles Anderson. The neural network I designed, named Crossbar Adaptive Array which solved both instances before the other network used inside the Group, named Actor/Critic architecture, proposed by Rich Sutton, did.
