I’m an Assistant Professor at University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Philosophy.
I completed my PhD in 2019 and my main research interests are statistical, computational and machine learning methods in social sciences.
I’m interested in how cooperation and trust emerge and evolve in online communities. I also work on facial expression of emotions in political speeches.
In 2023, I was a Fulbright Visting Scholar at University of Virginia.
Currently I’m the maintainer of transforEmotion R package for sentiment analysis for text, image and video using transformer models with >7k installs on CRAN.
My Erdős number is 4 (A. Tomašević – M. Mitrović Danuklov – G. Caldarelli – B. Bollobás – P. Erdős).
Website with teaching materials (in Serbian) can be found here.
I post occasional updates on X. The easiest and most reliable way to reach me is via email.

I’m a Linux geek, so naturally I support FOSS in everything I do.
I enjoy coding in R, Python and Julia. I don’t enjoy JavaScript.
Whenever possible I prefer plain text
(txt, md, tex) to
alternatives. I like to own my files and don’t depend on proprietary
software to read them in 5, 10 years or more. I’m also a fan of
single text file productivty, you can check out my VSCode extension
