**Meet the editor**

Born in 1955, Berane, Montenegro. Currently works as Associate Professor - Department of Physics, University of Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and as a Full Professor - Faculty of Science, Kosovska Mitrovica, Kosovo. Research interests: Applied Nuclear physics, Radon, Gamma spectrometry, Radiation Protection. In very fruitful career he participated in research project

of uranium prospection in Kosovo, as well as the development of new dosimeters for detecting radon. At the University of Tuzla he established a respectable scientific-research laboratory for detection, dosimetry and radiation protection. He achieved fruitful and intensive cooperation with renowned research institutions such as Institute of Nuclear Sciences Vinca, Polish Institute for Nuclear Research in Krakow, Institute of Nuclear Sciences in Dubna, Russia. Dr. Adrović attended the 17th World Conference on nuclear track detectors in Dubna 1994, IRPA 9 in Vienna 1996, Cairo International Conference on the sources, transport and disposal of hazardous materials 1998; then IRPA 11 in Madrid 2004, and IRPA 12 in Buenos Aires 2008.
