Caka graduated as an electrical engineer (Dipl. Ing.) in Electronics and Telecommunications from the Technical Faculty in Banja Luka,University of Sarajevo.[1] He also studied Albanian Language and Literature at the Faculty of Philology,University of Prishtina. He continued postgraduate studies in both technical sciences and language studies,becoming a Magister of Technical Sciences in Radio Communications and Professional Electronics from the University of Zagreb and a Magister of Philological Sciences from the University of Prishtina.[3] In 2001,he defended his dissertation titled "Imaging and simulation of the dynamics and measurements of biomedical phenomena using optical data processing" and earned the title of Doctor of Technical Sciences (Dr.Sc.) in Electrical Engineering at the University of Prishtina.[3]
Academic career
Caka's academic career has been primarily at the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering,University of Prishtina,where he has taught courses such as microelectronics,optoelectronics,optical communications,computer-aided design,VLSI systems,laser processing,and communication skills.[3]
He started teaching at the Technical School Centre "19 Nëntori”in Prishtina in 1969,becoming its deputy manager/director in 1971. In 1976,Caka engaged as a teaching assistant at the University of Prishtina and became a lecturer in 1995. In 1996,he became the chief of the Department of Electronics and in 2011 earned the title of full professor.[1]
Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering,University of Prishtina
Caka also served as vice-dean of the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering during 1997–2001,and as a member of the University of Prishtina's Senate and of the Central Council of Doctoral Studies during 2009–2012.[3] Beyond his home institution,he was a visiting professor at the Faculty of Computer Sciences at the University of Tetovo and other faculties of the University of Prishtina,including the Faculty of Education,Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture,and Faculty of Applied Technical Sciences in Mitrovica.[3]
Caka has supervised numerous doctoral,magisterial,and master's students in electrical engineering and related fields,contributing to research on MOSFET technologies,optical network design,and engineering education.[3][2]
Professional career
In parallel with his academic career,Caka held a number of senior technical and managerial positions in Kosovo's broadcasting,electronics,and industrial sectors,contributing to the development of media infrastructure,technical education,and industrial operations.

He stared his career as an engineer at Corporation "Kombinati XEK Kosova" (now Kosovo Energy Corporation) in Obiliq in 1971. From 1973 to 1990,he was chief engineer of the Television Equipment Maintenance and Repair Department at Radio Television of Prishtina (RTP) (now Radio Television of Kosovo),where he played a central role in the operation,maintenance,and technical modernization of television broadcasting infrastructure in Kosovo.[3]
Between 1990 and 1992,Caka worked as a service engineer of audio and video equipment at ARC Electronics in Prishtina,Kosovo,providing technical maintenance and repair services for professional electronic systems.[3]
From 2003 to 2008,he served as executive director of AlbanicaSat at Global Media Distribution Services (GMDS) in Prishtina,Kosovo,where he was responsible for satellite media distribution operations and technical coordination.[3]
In addition,he engaged as expert for reviewing telecommunication and electrical installation aspects of various projects,ranging from the Postal Transit Center in FushëKosova to that for the rehabilitation of "Rilindja" building in Prishtina.[3]
Involvement in language and scientific networks
Kosova Academy of Sciences and Arts
In addition to his technical work,Caka has been active in linguistic and scientific communities,including committees dedicated to language standardization and lexicography in Kosovo. He has participated in professional networks of Albanian scholars,such as Alb-Science Institute (Instituti Alb-Shkenca),and contributed to academic forums focused on intercultural terminologies and technical vocabularies.[1][4]
In 2015,he continued his engagement with the Kosova Academy of Sciences and Arts as part of its Lexicographic Encyclopedic Centre,reflecting his interdisciplinary involvement beyond engineering domains.[5] Within the Kosova Academy of Sciences and Arts,Caka authored "Leksiku i Përveçëm i Revistës "Përparimi" 1955-1968" and co-authored "Dictionary of Informatics:English-Albanian,Albanian-English".[6][7]
Research and publications
Caka's research interests include microelectronics,optoelectronics,photonics,and optical fiber communications,and he has published in internationally recognized journals and conference proceedings. His works range from university books on microelectronics and optoelectronics,academic language studies and lexicography,and research on lasers,MOSFET transistor parameters and harmonic performance in power inverters to others related with engineering education.[2]
