Zlatko Kovacic personal page

I was born and grew up in Zemun, Serbia (Europe). My name is pronounced Zlatko Covachich (which means Goldie Blacksmith).

I graduated from Belgrade University (Faculty of Economics), where I received my MSc. and Ph.D. in Statistics in 1980 and 1989 respectively. I have over 30 years experience as a University professor, international researcher, consultant and government advisor.

I emigrated to New Zealand in March 1995. I joined The Open Polytechnic of New Zealand, where I am currently an Associate Professor in Statistics and Research Methods.
