Professor Stosic graduated 1973 in mechanical engineering at the University of Sarajevo and 1976 obtained an MSc at the University of Zagreb followed by a doctorate at the University of Sarajevo 1982. He obtained a title of Doctor of Science at City University London in 2019. He started his engineering career in August 1973 in the Institute for Thermal and Nuclear Engineering of Energoinvest, the Yugoslav enterprise in power and process engineering at that time employing 43,000.  In January 1975 he joined the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of Sarajevo University. There, as a result of successive promotions in 1982, 1986 and 1990, he became professor of Applied Thermodynamics. He joined City University, London in 1992 which 1995 led to his appointment as Royal Academy of Engineering Professor of Positive Displacement Compressor Technology where he together with Professor Ian K Smith established the Centre for Positive Displacement Compressor Technology. In 2000 he took the Chair in Positive Displacement Compressor Technology at City University London.
 
Professor Stosic’s research interest is in mathematical modeling and computer simulation of thermal and fluid flow processes, including turbulence models, experimental methods for investigating the performance of thermal machinery and systems, application of contemporary procedures in design of positive displacement compressors, boilers, furnaces and pipe networks and Industrial investigations of large scale thermal power plants.
 
Professor Stosic is an acknowledged world authority on screw compressor analysis and design and active consultant to compressor manufacturers in more than 25 countries at all continents, including some of the world’s leading companies. Author and co-author of over 300 refereed journal and conference publications and more than 300 major industrial reports, 12 textbook chapters mainly in compressor design and analysis, 3 textbooks on screw compressors and expanders, a textbook on computers in engineering which ran to 3 impressions in 4 years, and a major text on boilers and furnaces with 3 editions in 5 years and 4 active patents.
 
Awarded the IMechE Bernard Hall Prize 1998 and shared the GRC Best Paper Award 2001, IMechE Thomas Stephen Group Prize 2001 and 2002 ASME Congress Best Paper Award, as well as 2003 the IMechE Process Industry Division Moss prize, 2005 the prestigious Clayton Prize and in 2011 Mond and Moss prizes.
 
Professor Stosic is a Royal Academy of Engineering Fellow and Fellow of Institution of Mechanical Engineers and member of American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
 
Professor Stosic has held academic positions in other universities in countries of former Yugoslavia, as well as in Germany and in England and has taught extensively at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.
