Doctoral research in quantitative tourism and climate analytics at the Department of Geography, Tourism and Hotel Management. - Built a fully reproducible R pipeline (RStudio projects, fixest, ggplot2) linking monthly municipal tourism statistics from the Statistical Office of Serbia (2010-2026) with ERA5-Land climate reanalysis from Copernicus, including elevation correction. - Designed and preregistered the analysis plan on OSF (two registrations), fixing hypotheses, variables, models and inference rules before seeing results. - Ran simulation-based power analysis and minimum detectable effect calculations. - Estimated PPML (Poisson) panel models with high-dimensional fixed effects. - Validated results with randomization inference, Romano-Wolf multiple-testing correction, equivalence testing (TOST), out-of-sample holdout and 54 robustness and placebo checks. - Collected Google Trends data as a demand signal. - Produced publication-ready tables and figures in English and Serbian.

Manuscript Administrator, Peer Review Coordination

Run day-to-day editorial operations for a high-impact international peer-reviewed journal. - Technical screening of new submissions: formatting, reference lists, figures and tables, author and affiliation details, declarations and compliance with journal policies. - Coordinate peer review between authors, editors and reviewers: invitations, reminders, revisions and decision letters. - Track deadlines across a steady flow of manuscripts and keep papers moving from submission to decision. - Handle author queries clearly and professionally in English. Reading research papers, methods sections and reviewer reports every day has given me a reviewer's eye for what makes an analysis clear, complete and defensible. I bring that standard to every project.
