Biography
Ivan Gladich received his master’s in physics from the University of Trieste and, afterwards, he was a post doc at Purdue University, USA, at the Academy of Science of Czech Republic, and at the International School for Advanced Studies, (SISSA), in Italy. He joined the Qatar Environment and Energy Research Institute (QEERI) in 2015.
His main field of expertise is the use of computational physical chemistry tools for the investigation of molecular-level processes occurring at technological and atmospheric relevant interfaces.
