Marko was born in Belgrade, Serbia. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University in 2019. Prior to joining as a PhD student, Marko interned at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon, where he pioneered the foundational technology that later led to the development of the SUGAR tool for simulation and optimization of electrical power system response. As a part of his PhD research, he developed the novel Equivalent Circuit Programming framework for continuous network simulation and optimization problems, which was demonstrated to provide significant improvements in efficiency and scalability over the existing state-of-the-art toolboxes. He is presently a Chief Technologist at Pearl Street Technologies, where he leads the R&D efforts on generalizing the optimization capabilities of the SUGAR framework to include realistic power grid optimization problems that can range up to several billion decision variables. He has published numerous papers in the field of power systems simulation, including a best paper award-winning submission on SUGAR at the IEEE PES General Meeting in 2017. Prior to starting his academic journey, Marko was one of the top nationally ranked junior tennis players in Serbia and has won 12 major tournaments from 2008-2011.
