Short CV
Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Dejan Zagorac, Principal Research Fellow/Full Professor. He received his doctorate in 2012 at the Faculty of Inorganic Chemistry, University of Stuttgart, Germany in collaboration with the Max-Planck Institute for Solid State Research (FKF) in Stuttgart, Germany. Afterward, he continued his post-doctoral studies at the Max-Planck Institute for Solid State Research (FKF) in Stuttgart, Germany, and in the Theoretical Chemistry Department, University of Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), Erlangen, Germany. Since 2015, he has been the Head of the Laboratory for Theoretical Investigation of Materials (L-TIM) at the Center for Synthesis, Processing and Characterization for Application in Extreme Conditions (Cextreme Lab) and in the Department of Materials Science, Institute of Nuclear Sciences “Vinča“, University of Belgrade, Serbia. He is engaged in research related to theoretical investigations of new materials, structure prediction of new compounds or new (meta) stable modification of existing materials, and theoretical investigation of the properties of the materials. A special area of research is the theoretical modeling of advanced materials applicable to extreme conditions. Dr. Dejan Zagorac published over 160 papers in his scientific career, with over 50 scientific papers in international journals from the SCI list. He was invited speaker at international and domestic conferences and universities, a reviewer in international and domestic journals and books, a member of international and domestic scientific associations, a member of the organizing committee of the conferences, and is Editor in Chief in the international publishing house. He speaks English, French and German language. He is married and father of three children.
