Professor Dejan Raković was born in 1951 in Belgrade, Serbia, where he completed primary and high school. He graduated Engineering Physics at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering in Belgrade in 1974 as a first in his class, and completed his M.Sc. thesis in 1977 in the field of quantum theory of atomic many-electron correlations (under supervision of Prof. Djordje Živanović and Prof. Vojislav Radojević), and his Ph.D. thesis in 1982 in the field of theoretical vibrational spectroscopy of conducting polymers (under supervision of Prof. Ivan Božović), at the Physics Division of the Faculty of Science in Belgrade. During 1980/81 he completed postgraduate specialization in the group of Academician L.A. Gribov in Moscow, renown authority in theoretical spectroscopy and quantum chemistry of molecules, polymers, and crystals.

He has a wide scientific interest, broadly related to materials science & biophysics, covering the fields of nanomaterials & biomaterials, nanotechnology & spectroscopy, bioinformatics of biomolecular, epigenetic, psychosomatic, cognitive & electrophysiological functions. During his career he has been superviser in 15 Ph.D. theses and has published nearly 300 papers & communications and over 40 books & proceedings, cited nearly 2000 times in scientific periodicals & monographs in Google Scholar. He has been also referee in over 20 scientific journals.

He got his first position at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering in Belgrade in 1977 and became full professor in 1997, where he has taught numerous courses until his retirement in 2016 (in Materials Science, Biophysics, Biomaterials, Quantum Information, and doctoral group of courses in Nanomedicine). He was heading Department of Materials Science in several election periods, undergraduate Module of Physical Electronics from 2012 to 2015, postgraduate Materials Science Curriculum from 1987 to 2005, and undergraduate Biomedical & Ecological Engineering Curriculum from 1996 to 2016.

Since 1995 professor Rakovic is being co-founder & vice-president elect of Yugoslav Materials Research Society (which has organized numerous annual international YUCOMAT conferences and published 10 Proceedings, and handbook Biomaterials (2010, in Serbian)). During the period 1995-1998 he headed Brain & Consciousness, regional project of European Center for Peace and Development (ECPD) of the United Nations University for Peace in Belgrade (and co-edited several books: Consciousness: Scientific Challenge of the 21st Century (1995); Proc. ECPD Symposium & Workshop Brain & Consciousness (1997); Proc. Consciousness-Religion–Society (1997, in Serbian)), while from 2009 he headed ECPD International School of Quantum-Informational Medicine (with (co-)authored textbook Introduction to Quantum-Informational Medicine, With Basics of Quantum-Holographic Psychosomatics, Acupuncturology and Reflexotherapy (2009, in Serbian)). In 1999 he co-founded International Anti-Stress Center (IASC) in Belgrade, becoming president elect of the IASC Governing Board, with wide educational holistic anti-stress activities (with (co-) authored Anti-Stress Holistic Handbook, with Fundamentals of Acupuncture, Microwave Resonance Therapy, Relaxation Massage, Airoionotherapy, Autogenic Training, & Consciousness (1999, in Serbian); Proc. Science-Religion-Society (2002, in Serbian); Proc. Religion & Epistemology (2005, in Serbian); textbook Fundamentals of Biophysics (3rd ed. 2008, in Serbian); monograph Integrative Biophysics, Quantum Medicine & Quantum-Holographic Informatics: Psychosomatic-Cognitive Implications (2009)); and scientific-popular book Recollections, Dreams, Thoughts: About Past and Future 1984-2007. On Crossway of Quantum-Holographic & Classically-Reduced Reality (2008, in Serbian). In 2009 he also founded his Fund (DRF) for Holistic Research & Ecology of Consciousness, with wider promotive holistic activities (including Proc. Symp. & Round Table Quantum-Informational Medicine: Acupuncture-Based & Consciousness-Based Holistic Approaches & Techniques (2011); Proc. 1st Int. Congress on Psychological Trauma: Prenatal, Perinatal & Postnatal Aspects (2015); and book Prenatal Psychology 100 Years: A Jorney in Decoding How Our Prenatal Experience Shapes Who We Become! (2018), becoming Whole-Self co-director for Serbia).
