Curriculum vitae:

Dalibor Kuhinek was born on December 30, 1976 in Pakrac. After attending Czech primary school, he attended the Technical School in Daruvar. He graduated in 2000 (with an emphasis on scientific research) in radio communications and professional electronics, and received his doctorate in 2009 from the University of Zagreb, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing, department of electrical measurement technology. He defended his doctoral dissertation entitled "Virtual instruments for measurement of rock samples deformation".

 

After completing his studies, he was employed at the Faculty of Mining, Geology and Petroleum Engineering in 2000 as a junior assistant. In 2003 he became an assistant, and in 2011 he became a senior assistant. In 2013, he was elected to the scientific-teaching position of assistant professor, and in 2018, to the position of associate professor and in 2023 professor.

His area of research interest is the development and automation of measurement systems, primarily in the determination of rock and soil properties, determination of explosive properties, and explosion protection. He is the head of the Laboratory for Electrical Measurements and Instrumentation, and a member of three other laboratories at the Faculty: Geomechanical Laboratory, Laboratory for Testing Explosive Substances, and Laboratory for Calibration of Instruments for Measuring Noise and Vibration Caused by Blasting by the Instantel Company. He has been designing electrical installations for mining facilities since 2005. He is the author or co-author of 36 scientific papers in journals, proceedings of international conferences, and professional papers. He has published 8 scientific articles in recognized international journals. Together with his colleagues, he has received several awards from the ARCA, INOVA, and ČIB-EKSPO innovation exhibitions.

 

Since 2000, he has been participating in organization of Seminars on explosion protection of electrical and non-electrical devices and installations as co-organizer, organizer and lecturer. Seminars are held at the RGN-faculty for participants from industry who work as responsible persons in areas endangered by explosive atmospheres.

 

On 20.7.2022. he passed the professional exam and as of September 2, 2022. member of the Croatian Chamber of Electrical Engineers under number E-3517.

 

He is a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), the Croatian Metrology Society (HMD), the technical committee of the Croatian Institute for Standards HZN/TO 511 (Explosives for civil use) and HZN/TO E31 (Explosive atmospheres) and the Zagreb Electrotechnical Society - EDZ. He is also a member of the AMAC Alumni FER association. Since 2015, he has been a member of the editorial board of the scientific and professional magazine for explosion protection: "Bulletin of the Agency for Areas Endangered by Explosive Atmospheres".
