Assoc. Prof. Dr Matjaž Vencelj
Research AssociateE-mail: Tel: +38615885255 Dr. Vencelj focuses on the experimental physics of atomic nuclear structure and reactions, and on the design of complex detection systems for nuclear and subatomic physics research. His applicative work includes the development of biomedical and industrial sensors.
Recently, he works closely with the <link>Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research in Europe (FAIR) and coordinates the collaboration of Slovenian scientists within the experiments FRS-IC, DEGAS and R3B, as well as the design and construction of several related detectors and diagnostic modules.
