Another excellent doctorate in CIR

Oct 6th 2016
Another excellent doctorate in CIR

Ivan Sović has completed his doctoral studies under the supervision of mentors Mile Šikić and Karolj Skala on the topic of: "Algorithms for de novo genome assembly from third generation sequencing data" in front of the committee: 

Professor Mladen Vučić, Ph.D. and Doc. dr. sc. Mirjana Domazet-Lošo from FER, and Dr. sc. Niranjan Nagarajan, scientific advisorfrom Genome Institute of Singapore.

Results of doctoral research and thesis are published and avaiable on:
