The Centre of Research Excellence for Advanced Cooperative Systems (ACROSS) is an interdepartmental research centre at the University of Zagreb Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing. The centre performs research in cooperative systems related to robotics, networked embedded systems and renewable energy systems. Its establishment and operation is funded by the European FP-7 Capacities "Research Potential" program [285939, FP7-REGPOT-2011-1].
More information about the project can be found at http://across.fer.hr/across.

Domagoj Tolić is a postdoctoral researcher in the Research Centre for Advanced Cooperative Systems (ACROSS) at the Department of Control and Computer Engineering ,University of Zagreb, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing (FER). He graduated from FER with a Masters degree (Dipl.-Ing.) in Electrical Engineering in 2007., majoring in Control Systems. In addition, he graduated from the Mathematics Department of University of Zagreb with a Bachelor Degree in Mathematics in 2008. Afterwards, he enrolled in the Ph.D program, the Control Systems major, at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of New Mexico (UNM), Albuquerque, NM. He completed his Ph.D program in August 2012. His research focuses on stability and estimation under intermittent information for nonlinear control systems. The developed theory is applied to problems in the area of multi-agent robotics.
