Lovro Marković is a Ph.D. student at the Laboratory for Robotics and Intelligent Control Systems (LARICS) operating within the University of Zagreb, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing (UNIZG-FER). In 2018, he graduated from the same university, earning a Master's degree Cum Laude. His master's thesis was titled: "Geometric Control of a Multi‑rotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle with Internal Combustion Propulsion" under the guidance of Professor Dr. Sc. Stjepan Bogdan.During the final year of his studies, Lovro was awarded a Scholarship of the City of Zagreb for excellence.

His primary research focus is the control of multirotor unmanned aerial vehicles. Additionally, he is also interested in areas such as state estimation, trajectory generation, point cloud segmentation, and more. Apart from performing duties as a teaching assistant and a co-mentor to bachelor and master students, Lovro participated in numerous research projects such as the MBZIRC 2020 (Mohamed Bin Zayed International Robotics Challenge), ENCORE (ENergy aware BIM Cloud Platform in a COst-effective Building REnovation Context), ASAP (Autonomous System for Assessment and Prediction of Infrastructure Integrity), AeroWind (Autonomous UAV inspection of wind turbine blades), VIRTUALUAV (Development of a system of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) controlled in virtual environments),  as well as an industry related project with Danieli Automation.

He helped in software orchestration and deployment of the ICUAS 2022 and 2023 UAV competitions held in Dubrovnik, Croatia and Warsaw, Poland respectively. He took part in short research visits at the EMPA (Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology) and University of New Mexico, USA. During his time as a Ph.D. student, Lovro authored and co-authored 5 journal papers, 7 conference papers and 1 book chapter.
