Stanko Milun was born in 1944 in Dicmo. He completed the Gymnasium in Sinj in 1961, and graduated from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering in Zagreb in early 1966. In the period 1966-68 he worked at “R. Končar” in Zagreb on the construction of switchgear. In 1968 he was employed at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering in Split as an assistant for courses “Electrical Engineering Basics” and “Electrical Measurements”. In the period 1971-74 he worked as a senior expert associate at the Institute for Safety – Zagreb, Institute for Occupational Safety – Split. He received his master’s degree from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering in Zagreb in 1973, and in 1974 he was elected to the position of lecturer, and then senior lecturer for “Electrical Measurements”. He received his doctorate in 1980 on “Problems of voltage comparators from sources based on the Josephson effect and Weston Elaton cells” under the mentorship prof. dr. sc. V. Bego. In 1981 he was elected to the title of associate professor, in 2000 to the title of full professor, and in 2005 received tenure.

He is the author and co-author of 38 scientific papers published in international and national scientific journals and in proceedings of international and domestic scientific conferences. In addition, he has been engaged in solving professional problems in the Croatian economy throughout his working life, and is the author and co-author of more than 150 professional projects, studies, expert opinions and monographs.

During more than forty years of work at the Faculty, he established a laboratory for Measurement of Process Quantities, modernized the “Electrical Measurements” laboratory in active cooperation with economic entities, established eight courses in the field of electrical measurements at all levels of study, and four postgraduate courses.

He has been participating in scientific research since 1970, contributing significantly to various projects in electrical power engineering and measurement techniques.

• 1970-1980: Participated in “Development of SRH measurement techniques” led by prof.dr. sc. Bego, and “Electrical Power Engineering” project (SIZ-I) project.
• Task Leader for the development of a statistical method for analyzing grounding conductors in karst terrain.
• 1981-1990: Coordinated research for the project “Mesurement techniques” (SIZ-I) and led the project “Improvement of measurement methods in power plants”.
• Developed a transient method for measuring soil thermal properties with a spherical probe.
• 1991-1995: Principal researcher in the project “Electric Power Metrology” (Ministry of Science, Technology, and Informatics of the Republic of Croatia).
• Developed a broadband, high-voltage divider for transient phenomena in high-voltage networks.
• 1996-1999: Principal investigator in the project “Verification, Confirmation, and Standardization Service in the Republic of Croatia” with dr. sc. Mladen Boršić.

Prof. Milun served as Dean from 1989 to 1991, Head of the Power Engineering Department for three terms, and led the divisions Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering and Electrical Measurements. He also served as a long term vice-president and board member of the Croatian Metrology Society-Zagreb, was a honorary member of the Electrical Engineering Society-Zagreb and a member of the Croatian Academy of Engineering. He participated in various Technical Committees of the State Institute for Standardization and Metrology and the Program Council of the Energy Institute “Hrvoje Požar”. Additionally, he served two terms as a city councilor of Split (1993-2001) and was involved in several City Council committees and commissions.

He mentored over 100 final and diploma theses, two master theses and two doctoral dissertations.
