Life and work

Naser Sahiti was born on 12 March 1966 in Carraleva, Kosovo. Sahiti spent his youth in Carraleve and went to primary school there. After attending vocational college in Shtime and the technical college in Ferizaj he studied mechanical engineering at Pristina University, finishing with a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering with honours (1991). He then became a vocational school teacher in mathematics and informatics at the Naim Frashëri school in Shtime.

In 1996 Sahiti joined Prishtina University as an assistant in mechanical engineering. His focus there was research in and teaching of thermodynamics and thermal turbo-machinery.

In 2001 Sahiti moved to the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Institute of Fluid Mechanics. He obtained after five years research the degree Dr. Ing. with the dissertation Thermal and fluid dynamic performance of pin fin heat transfer surfaces^[4]

After returning to the university in Pristina Sahiti became Assistant Professor and from November 2013-February 2014 he has the Position Vice Rector for Budget and Finance at the University of Prishtina. From February 2009-October till 2009 he was acting as Vice Dean for Teaching Issues at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and from September 2018 he was appointed Chief of the Center for Renewable Energy. In 2017 the position as full Professor of Mechanical Engineering. He has been Prorector to Rector Marjan Dema and was elected as his successor in August 2020. On October 1, 2020, he started as Rector of the University of Pristina.^[5]
