Assistant Professor E-mail: vito[dot]logar[at]fe[dot]uni-lj[dot]si Tel: +386 (0)1 4768-278 Room no.: AM207

I received B.Sc and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia in 2004 and 2009, respectively. My current research interests include modelling and optimization techniques regarding the electric arc furnace steel recycling processes.  
In 2013 he received the award for outstanding scientific achievement for the year 2011 from the Slovenian Research Agency (ARRS). In 2014 he received the award for outstanding scientific and pedagogic achievements from the University of Ljubljana.
