General information

Received BSc in Theoretical Physics at the Zagreb University, Zagreb, Croatia in 1991. Works an the Rudjer Boskovic Institute from 1991. The same year started collaboration in CERN's experiment NOMAD. Since 2002 on leave in LAPP, Annecy France where he works on CERN experiments RD3 and ATLAS. Receives PhD in high energy experimental physics at the Universite de Savoie, Chambery, France in 2004 and returns to the RBI. Later on works on various experiments researching neutrinos and axions both at CERN and at the RBI. Since 1999 he is also active in research of random numbers, cryptography and Quantum Information. From 2007 onwards leader of the basic research project "Experiments in quantum communication and quantum information".
