Hello passenger,

I am a leading researcher at the Department of Communication and Space Technologies, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing (FER), University of Zagreb, and currently a visiting researcher at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) – Institute of Communications and Navigation.

Within the WP4 package of the Croatian Quantum Communication Infrastructure (CroQCI) project, I am the scientific lead for the deployment of a quantum-capable optical ground station compatible with the European Space Agency’s quantum communication satellite, EAGLE-1.

Previously, I was a senior researcher at FER and CTO of Wingo Technologies, a Zagreb-based startup developing energy-efficient outdoor heating solutions for the HoReCa sector, recognized by MIT EF CEE as one of the top three tech startups in Central and Eastern Europe.

Popularizing science and promoting critical thinking are important parts of my work. For more than a decade, I have continuously engaged in science outreach by founding and organizing science festivals, as well as writing popular science articles.

I hold a master’s degree in Physics from the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, with a focus on the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics. My research was mentored by Tim Maudlin, Daniele Oriti, and Hrvoje Nikolic. I also completed a double master’s degree in the field of Physics (of Complex Systems) at Linnaeus University and the University of Insubria, under the supervision of Francesco Ginelli and Carlo Canali. My bachelor’s degree is in Engineering Physics from the University of Split, where my final project delved into thermodynamics, specifically the ‘Mpemba effect,’ under the guidance of Franjo Sokolic.

I wish you a pleasant time on my webpage!
