Having had the privilege of living and working in several different places, each has contributed to my understanding of what &#8220;home&#8221; means to me. However, there will always be a special place in my heart for Macedonia, where I grew up and feel a deep sense of belonging. I would highly encourage anyone who has the opportunity to visit Macedonia and discover its distinctive beauty and rich culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can get in touch with me using either of the two contact details:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"820\" height=\"372\" src=\"https:\/\/lazarova-molnar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/KITlogo_farbe-RGB_englisch.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-88\" style=\"width:184px;height:83px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lazarova-molnar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/KITlogo_farbe-RGB_englisch.jpg 820w, https:\/\/lazarova-molnar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/KITlogo_farbe-RGB_englisch-300x136.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lazarova-molnar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/KITlogo_farbe-RGB_englisch-768x348.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lazarova-molnar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/KITlogo_farbe-RGB_englisch-624x283.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sanja Lazarova-Molnar<br>Institute of Applied Informatics and Formal Description Methods<br>Karlsruhe Institute of Technology<br>Kaiserstr. 89<br>76133 Karlsruhe<br>Germany<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>E-Mail: lazarova-molnar [at] kit.edu<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"545\" src=\"https:\/\/lazarova-molnar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/sdulogo-uk-sort-feb2019-1024x545.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-87\" style=\"width:176px;height:93px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lazarova-molnar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/sdulogo-uk-sort-feb2019-1024x545.png 1024w, https:\/\/lazarova-molnar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/sdulogo-uk-sort-feb2019-300x160.png 300w, https:\/\/lazarova-molnar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/sdulogo-uk-sort-feb2019-768x409.png 768w, https:\/\/lazarova-molnar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/sdulogo-uk-sort-feb2019-624x332.png 624w, https:\/\/lazarova-molnar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/sdulogo-uk-sort-feb2019.png 1353w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sanja Lazarova-Molnar<br>The Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller Institute<br>University of Southern Denmark<br>Campusvej 55<br>5230 Odense M<br>Denmark<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>E-Mail: slmo [at] mmmi.sdu.dk<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a Professor at both the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and&nbsp;the&nbsp;University of Southern Denmark (SDU), I lead two dynamic research groups focused on modeling, simulation, and data analytics.&nbsp;At KIT, I head the Systems, Data, Simulation and Energy (SYDSEN) research group at the Institute of Applied Informatics and Formal Description Methods, while at SDU I [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-16","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lazarova-molnar.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lazarova-molnar.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lazarova-molnar.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lazarova-molnar.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lazarova-molnar.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16"}],"version-history":[{"count":22,"href":"https:\/\/lazarova-molnar.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":219,"href":"https:\/\/lazarova-molnar.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16\/revisions\/219"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lazarova-molnar.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
