dr. sc. Željko Kovačević

profesor stručnog studija

Željko Kovačević zaposlen je kao profesor na Tehničkom veleučilištu u Zagrebu te kao docent na Sveučilištu Sjever. Završio je Elektrotehničku srednju školu u Zagrebu, a potom prijediplomski i diplomski stručni studij informatike na Tehničkom veleučilištu u Zagrebu. Nakon toga, upisuje doktorski studij informatike i računarstva na Fakultetu elektrotehnike, računarstva i informatike (FERI, Sveučilište u Mariboru). Doktorirao je na području razvoja prevoditelja i interpretera za domensko specifične jezike, te se u području znanosti aktivno bavi i evolucijskim algoritmima. Također se bavi modeliranjem i razvojem informacijskih sustava i baza podataka, pri čemu najaktivnije koristi programski jezik C++ i Microsoft SQL Server RDBMS. Godine 2015. postaje Embarcadero MVP (Most Valuable Professional) u području programiranja korištenjem alata C++ Builder i Delphi. Autor je i koautor osam knjiga te 38 znanstvenih i stručnih radova. Dobitnik je međunarodne nagrade i priznanja časopisa Journal of Computer Languages za najbolji znanstveni rad 2021. godine, kao i priznanja Tehničkog veleučilišta u Zagrebu za izvrsnost u znanstveno-istraživačkom radu 2025. godine.
