PhD StudentE-mail:

In 2020 I finished my masters in mathematical physics at Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Ljubljana. I finished one year of my masters at ETH, Zurich as an Erazmus exchange student. During my masters I was a summer student at CERN working on LHCb spectrometer 2030 upgrades. My master thesis was focused on the calibration of the Aerogel Ring Imaging Cherenkov detector at Belle II, Japan.  

With the start of my PhD I transitioned from High energy physics to Nuclear physics. Currently I'm working on Ion Catcher setup at GSI.
