The same number of tens is written in the indexes! He currently works as an associate professor at the Faculty of Physics, doing exercises. Although he applied for a master’s degree, he technically already finished it. He passed all the exams in advance, he had half the exams left to defend his work. He plans to study a PhD abroad and then return to Serbia.
Stefan’s success was heard thanks to his girlfriend Ana Knezevic. The news he posted on Twitter spread quickly. This extremely modest young man did not want to speak publicly about his success. He says he wants to keep it for himself. However, with the help of the ETF leadership, we managed to convince him to speak up. He says that in order to study successfully, it is better to enroll in what you like. And math and physics were his choice from elementary school and then high school for math.
– My best friend Mihajlo Sporić and I, who sadly passed away last year from cancer in Cambridge, were physicists. However, we had known physics in the College of Physics since high school in the first two years, so we wanted to enroll in another college. The choice fell on the ETF, says Stefan. – As lectures and exercises are not mandatory, I managed to fit in. In Physics I attended all the conferences in the third and fourth years, and in the ETF in the first and second years. I can’t say it was easy, but it wasn’t very difficult either.

This young scientist points out that everything was easier, thanks to the Baccalaureate in Mathematics. Since he was in the tutoring department, which is reserved for the best of the best, he acquired knowledge from university professors. He especially mentions Natasa Calukovic and Alkesandra Dimic. He always wanted something more. Thus, already in fourth grade he studied “Quantum Mechanics”, which is a subject in the third year of the Faculty of Physics. He fell in love with mathematics from the third grade of elementary school, thanks to the Archimedes school.
– I liked physics, because it is the mathematics that is applied to describe the world and nature that surrounds us – says Stefan. – I liked how nature and the laws that apply to it can be described on the basis of mathematical formulas. The language of physics is mathematics. I had a good physics teacher in primary school “Cyril and Methodius”, Selma Popovic, who really tried to explain us very well in regular classes, gave extra classes and discovered that interesting side of physics.
Competition with Michael
“MIHAJLO was my best friend,” says Stefan. – We went to the same class in the Math Gym. We register both faculties together. And he gave the first year with all the tens in both. Then he went to Cambridge, where he visited him often. Side by side, we have come a long way in both mathematics and physics. He competed with me, I with him. When I knew something, I wanted to learn. When he heard something else, I wanted to catch up with him. We were inseparable.
The basics of electrical engineering and ETF programming gave him more “trouble” during his studies. He received nine of these cases, which he annulled. He did it, he says, because he made a mistake in the tally, and he knew he knew about 10. In June, he “cleared” the years in both schools, except third at the ETF, when he dropped two exams for September.
– There were twice as many exams in the Faculty of Physics, because there is a written exam for each subject – says Stefan. – It often happened that I could read and write in Physical and oral in ETF on the same day. I used everything I could, gave talks before, did preliminary exams, took some subjects from third to second. I knew all the math in the first year of the ETF, so I passed it very easily. Mathematics is more serious in physics. I learned to code more at Math High School than I did in college.

Our interlocutor reveals that he must study continuously, but that he did not do that. Thanks to his prior knowledge, he didn’t have to sit down to read the book from morning to night. It was mainly prepared a few days before the exam. Scheduling, he says, wasn’t his favorite either in high school or at the ETF. It is more interesting for him to have the role, to come to a conclusion on his own.
– People join the ETF not because they like it, but because it is promising and that is why it is difficult for them to finish their studies – thinks Stefan. – I wrote what I liked. If something is loved and done well in high school and elementary school, studying is not difficult.
GIRL AS A STUDENT
AMONG the students, for whom Stefan exercises, is his girlfriend Ana. She says that she is a great speaker, that she explains excellently, and that she is one of the best assistants he has ever heard. Her wish is for him to enroll in doctoral studies and she in master’s studies in the same city.
“If we don’t make it, we’ll stay here,” says Stefan. – I am not attracted to the West, only Paris. We are interested in Japan, Canada, Australia and Russia.

Although he has only officially enrolled in a master’s degree at the Faculty of Physics, Stefan passed all the exams in advance during his studies. The master’s thesis and half of the exams remained, as well as the notes to be written. And those are all dozens. Last week, he also joined the department.
– The first lecture, the fourth-year students had with me from Relativistic Quantum Mechanics, which is a compulsory subject and one of the two most important – says Stefan. – I’m happy I got it, because it interests me. I didn’t have time to count it all in two hours, so I plan to increase it to three. Some students are older than me, others are my age because they renewed the year, and unfortunately only three were enrolled in college when I did.
EXCEPTIONAL INDEPENDENCE
PROFESSOR Dr. Milan Tadić, from the ETF, where he defended his dissertation and passed four exams, reveals that Stefan is a brilliant student of the Department of Physical Electronics, who during his studies showed great interest in research work, and in the In recent months he has focused on areas of topological insulators and graphene, which are of great interest in the world.
– At least three Nobel Prizes in Physics have been awarded for these areas – Prof. Tadic points out. – From the text of the final work and its great defense, a colleague who participated in the commission together with me and I concluded that Stefan completely handles the extremely complex issues that were the subject of the work. In addition to the knowledge and experience gained at the ETF, he also benefited from the knowledge gained at the Faculty of Physics.
Stefan showed exceptional independence in his work, on a level that I only met with two or three other students during my thirty years of work.
It states that the defense of the work was forceful, precise and concise, followed by detailed answers to the questions posed. The professor regretted not having enrolled in the ETF of the master.
Our interlocutor states that he plans to do doctoral studies abroad, in order to learn something new. His goal is to go back to Serbia, be a teacher or work in a high school. It says that the program of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics in our country corresponds to a master’s degree abroad. He likes to watch series, movies, he is dedicated to numismatics, he keeps the Champions League record, he was also involved in basketball …
