Dynamics of Quantum matter

We explore non-equilibrium many-body dynamics in quantum systems that experience symmetry-breaking, topological, or jamming transitions. These systems encompass superconductors, charge-density wave, and magnetic materials.

Experimental Soft Matter Physics

The research is conducted within the “Light and Matter” research program. The interaction of light with matter is one of the most important fields of physics and optical processes are indispensable in many branches of modern industry.

I am a Scientific Advisor at Jožef Stefan Institute in Ljubljana and Professor of Physics at University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. After having obtained my Ph.D. degree in Physics from University of Ljubljana in 1993, my research interests have gradually shifted from laser physics and optical spectroscopy of solid-state laser materials toward biomedical optics. Within the later, I have studied thermo-mechanical laser ablation of hard and soft biological tissues, and innovative medical laser treatments, also including cryogenic sprays. My current activities include noninvasive characterization of human skin and select pathologies using pulsed photothermal radiometry and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, combined with inverse Monte Carlo analysis. In addition, I am working on development of all-optical tomography based on photothermal radiometry and novel micro- and nanoparticles for bioimaging and targeted therapy. I have served on the Editorial Boards of Scientific journals (Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, Int. Journal of Thermophysics) and am currently a member of Scientific Committees for International Conference on Photothermal and Photoacoustic Phenomena (ICPPP), and Photonics in Dermatology and Plastic Surgery (part of Biomedical Optics Symposium at Photonics West).
