Lado Filipovic studied electrical engineering at Carleton University, in Ottawa, Canada, where he received the degree of Bachelor in electrical engineering (B.Eng.) in 2006 and Master in applied science (M.A.Sc) in 2009. He joined the Institute for Microelectronics in January 2010, where he completed his doctoral degree in December 2012, which focused on topography simulations of novel semiconductor processes. Since then his scientific interest have broadened to studying and modeling the effects of fabrication-induced variability on semiconductor geometries and their application in the fabrication of quantum metrology devices. His added research interests involve the design and simulation of environmental sensors and, more specifically, using metal oxide semiconductors for the detection of toxic gases and pollutants.
