Curriculum vitae

Presently I am working at the University of Zagreb, Physics Department, as a higher assistant.  The opportunity to be engaged in your experiment seems very exciting for my development as a physicist and future professor at my current institution. Collected experience with nuclear and hyper-nuclear experiments during previous years has encouraged my wishes to participate in modern high-energy experiments.

I was born in 1961 in a small town, Petrinja, near the Croatian capital. Subsequent to primary and middle school education, I began studying physics (1979) and mathematics in parallel (1980) at the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics in the University of Zagreb. After a year of obligatory military training (1985), I was engaged at various schools (1986-1991) working as a teacher of physics and mathematics. My actual scientific development started in 1992 when I became a university employee, working in parallel on an experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute (Switzerland). During this period (1992-1993) I was actively involved in building detector components and, after successfully performing the experiment, in the data analysis (1993-1997). My PhD thesis (defended in 2000) actually covers this period. In the meantime I have been involved in the hyper-nuclear experiments E907 (1996-1998), E931 (1998-2001) at BNL and E89-009 at the Thomas Jefferson Laboratory (2000). A more complete list of publications related to experiments I have been involved with can be investigated at:

My working experience covers experimental skills in building and tuning various types of scintillator calorimeters and wire chambers and working with the electronics associated with this type of detectors. Computing knowledge covers maintaining almost all types of operating systems on any possible network configuration. Besides certain knowledge about databases and scripting languages, my primary professional interest is focused on the well-known CERN software library (PAW, GEANT and more recently ROOT). Basic knowledge in object-orientated languages (JAVA, C++) is also present but not perfectly polished at the moment.
