Dr. Bojan Nikolić is a researcher and visiting lecturer at City St George’s University of London, specialising in the intersection of smart materials and industrial sensing. He currently serves as the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Region 8 Newsletter, overseeing global communications for an expansive network of engineers across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

As part of a high-profile Knowledge Transfer Project, Dr. Nikolić is spearheading an initiative to develop bio-inspired digital twin moisture sensors for a Cambridge-based industry leader. His work focuses on transforming physical sensing environments into high-fidelity digital replicas, enabling unparalleled dynamic visualisation and predictive analysis. This builds upon his background in developing non-conventional current sensors using smart materials for high-voltage transmission lines—effectively bridging the gap between academic theory and commercial application.

Beyond his research, Bojan is the co-author of two textbooks and has contributed to a wide range of publications in prestigious international journals and conferences. An active leader within the IEEE, he has led global award-winning student chapters and has been recognised for his professional contributions. Furthermore, he was nominated for the Impact Award in recognition of his outstanding and influential contributions to engineering education.
