Research Areas

During his Ph.D., Zoran worked on dipolar collisions in cooling and trapping of paramagnetic atoms. In particular, he explored a system with a large magnetic dipole moment, Cr, between different combinations of the bosonic isotope ⁵²Cr and the fermionic ⁵³Cr. The interplay between the long-range dipole-dipole magnetic interaction and the hyperfine structure (when present) gives a very rich set of Feshbach resonances. In addition, he investigated the scattering properties of Cr+Rb, as well as He+OH(²Π).

Honors and Awards

National Science Foundation award (Division of Physics) on “Probing fundamental physics with ultracold systems”.
