Boris P. Radić was born on March 27, 1982, in Svetozarevo (formerly and currently Jagodina), where he completed elementary school and the natural-mathematics program at high school. He enrolled at the University of Belgrade – Department of Landscape Architecture at the Faculty of Forestry in the 2000/01 academic year. After completing his undergraduate studies, he enrolled in doctoral academic studies in the 2007/08 academic year (Ecological Engineering in Soil and Water Resource Protection module) at the same faculty. As a doctoral candidate and a scholarship recipient of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Serbia, he was involved in several scientific projects at the Faculty of Forestry. Since 2011, he has been employed at the Faculty of Forestry as a researcher on the project “Research on Climate Change and Its Impact on the Environment: Monitoring Impacts, Adaptation, and Mitigation.” In November 2014, he defended his doctoral dissertation titled “Erosion as a Factor of Landscape Degradation in Ski Resorts of Serbia,” earning the academic title of Doctor of Biotechnical Sciences. Since February 2015, he has been employed as a professor in the group of subjects at the Department of Planning and Design in Landscape Architecture, holding the positions of assistant professor since 2015, associate professor since 2020, and full professor as of 2024. Both independently and as a co-author, he has published several educational and bibliographic works: Landscape Ecology – Practicum (auxiliary textbook) (2019), Applied Geomorphology in Landscape Architecture (auxiliary textbook) (2023), and Landscape Ecology (textbook) (2024). During his academic career, he has published and presented over 100 papers in scientific journals and conference proceedings at international and national conferences, including more than 20 papers in SCI-listed journals and internationally significant monographs. He has participated in numerous conferences and exhibitions as a member of scientific, professional, or organizational committees or as a jury member. As an expert in the analysis and evaluation of the stability of constitutive, structural, and visual elements of landscape character, contemporary methods, and techniques of geographic information systems, as well as models for the protection and conservation of natural resources, he has contributed to the realization of over 100 professional projects, spatial plans, studies, and reports of national and international significance. He is a member of the Serbian Association of Landscape Architects, the International Association for Landscape Ecology, and a licensed landscape architect with the Serbian Chamber of Engineers.
