I am an assistant professor of physics at the Department of Physics, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics UL in Ljubljana, Slovenia. My research interests include synchrotron based electron spectroscopy of thin films and hybrid interfaces. In particular, I use Resonant Photoemission (RESPES) and the Core-Hole-Clock (CHC) method to study charge transport from/to small organic molecules deposited on monocrystaline coinage metals, X-ray photoemission and absorption spectroscopy (XPS and NEXAFS) to determine the electronic structure and density functional theory (DFT) calculations to theoretically corroborate experimental findings.

I am an associated researcher with Istituto Officina dei Materiali (CNR-IOM, Trieste), in particular the ALOISA beamline (synchrotron Elettra) and regularly collaborate with different research groups, e.g. Latha Venkataraman Group (Columbia University, NY), John Kymissis Group (Columbia University, NY), Alon Gorodetsky Group (University of California, Irvine) and others (ETH Zürich, TU München).
