Nikola Konjevic was born in Belgrade 1940. He graduated in 1963 
physical chemistry at the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics 
of the Belgrade University and obtained M.Sc. degree in physics in 
1965 at the same University. From October 1965 until May 1968 he was a 
post graduate student at the Electrical Engineering Department of 
Liverpool University where he received Ph.D in 1968.

Main scientific contributions of prof.Konjevic are in the field of 
low temperature plasma spectroscopy. In particular the results of the 
study of influence of plasma parameters to the shape and shift of 
emitted spectral lines are of outstanding importance. Besides the 
interest for plasma spectroscopy, prof.Nikola Konjevic contributed to 
the field of laser physics. He was successfully working in the field 
of organic dye lasers, chemical laser (CO, HF) and several laser 
applications with particular interest for the field of atmospheric 
pollution monitoring.

Professor Konjevic was fifteen times an invited speaker at 
international conferences; he is the associate editor of the Journal 
of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer and one of the 
authors of important critical reviews published in 
J.Phys. Chemi.Ref.Data and Physics Reports. 

For the year 1999 the "Prof.Marko Jaric" Jury found that professor 
Nikola Konjevic made an important contribution to the world physics 
and handed him, on March 17, 2000, this most distinguished national 
award for physics.

From 26th October 2000  professor Nikola Konjevic is a correspondent 
member of Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts.
