Current position: Head of Department of Complex Matter, Group leader and Chief Scientist at Jozef Stefan Institute and Professor at the Department of Mathematics and Physics at the University of Ljubljana.
Chief sceintist at “Jozef Stefan” Institute, and Professor at the University of Ljubljana. He presently leads a mixed experimental-theoretical group researching complex matter and various problems in nanosciences. Among major interests are high-temperature oxide superconductors, fullerenes and their derivatives, carbon and inorganic nanotubes and their derivatives and other correlated electron systems for optical switching in molecular systems, ultrafastquantum electronics and superconducting quantum computing. The experimental focus of the group at present is on femtosecond time-resolved dynamics studies on various materials, with supporting activities such as Raman scattering, infrared absorption, time-resolved Raman spectroscopy, photoinduced absorption and photothermal deflection spectroscopy. A strong experimental effort is also present on molecular magnetic systems, particularly fullerene ferromagnets (including synthesis), investigated by ESR, NMR, magnetic susceptibility, transport, Rayleigh scattering etc.
