In March 1991, he was offered a position of PhD researcher at the Chair of Design and Product Development at FMENA. In 1996 he defended his M.Sc. thesis entitled "Creating a database of scenarios for expert CAD systems". In December 2000 he acquired the Ph.D. degree with the Ph.D. thesis entitled "Object-oriented approach to design process modeling".

Dr. Pavkovic has been involved in scientific research since 1991 in the following national scientific projects: "Model of intelligent CAE system", "Models and methods of improving the computer support for design process" and "Models and methods of knowledge management in product development”. He participated in two international scientific EUREKA projects:  E4911- "Traceability of Engineering Information" (TRENIN) and  E8723 - Visually augmented analysis of complex information structures and evolving socio-technical systems (VISINEV).
