Biography

Nikola Ivanov (male) is a Research Associate at Division of Airport and Air Traffic Safety (APATC), UB-FTTE, where he graduated from in 2009 (dipl. ing.). During his undergraduate studies, he spent one month at Airport Nis in Serbia (internship) and had a professional study visit in Germany organised by DAAD (DLR, airports in Munich and Berlin, universities and schools in Berlin, Dresden, etc.).
His graduation thesis research was carried out in EUROCONTROL STATFOR (Statistics and Forecast Unit) where he spent three months working on STATFOR innovative research project with the objective to find robust short-term leading indicators to improve STATFOR short-term forecast. Nikola subsequently spent six months (August 2014 – January 2015) in EUROCNTROL Network Management Operations Centre (NMOC)/Post Operations (in the Innovation ATFCM Centre, OPS Room), familiarising with the post-ops daily tasks, analysis and processes and NMIR data for his research aiming to enhance post-ops and/or other phase(s) in the ATFCM process.
Nikola was a full-time researcher, project manager deputy and one of principal contributors in the SESAR projects COCTA (2016-2018) and CADENZA (2020-2022). Nikola also participated in the SESAR project SATURN (2013-2015) where he conducted data collection from the DDR service for capacity utilisation analysis in NEST.
Nikola also participated and contributed to other research/consulting projects for EUROCONTROL MUAC, SMATSA, Norwegian Ministry of Transport and Communication, Serbian Ministry of Science and Technological Development, Airport Nis, etc. Nikola is author and co-author of more than 20 academic journal/conference papers and is a reviewer in several scientific journals. Nikola’s primary field of interest is Air Traffic Flow and Capacity Management, as well as application of data mining techniques and econometrics in the ATM domain.
