Ivan Bozovic - Biography#

Ivan Bozovic received PhD in Solid State Physics in 1975 from Belgrade University, Yugoslavia. At BU he was elected a Docent in 1978 and the Physics Department Head in 1979. From 1986 to 1989 he was a Visiting Professor at Stanford University, from 1989 to 1998 a Senior Scientist at the Varian Research Center, Palo Alto, and from 1998 to 2002 the Principal Scientist and Chief Technical Officer at Oxxel GmbH, Bremen, Germany. Since 2003, he has been working as the MBE Group Leader at Brookhaven National Laboratory in USA. He is currently also an Adjunct Professor at Yale University and at Belgrade University.

Bozovic is a Honorary Member of the Serbian Academy of Science and Arts, Fellow of American Physics Society (APS), and Fellow of International Society for Optical Engineering (SPIE). He was honored by Max Planck Lecture and medal (2013), Bernd Matthias Prize for Materials Aspects of Superconductivity (2012), BNL Science and Technology Prize (2004), SPIE Technology Award (2004), M. Jaric Prize (1999), Belgrade Institute of Physics Prize (1985), Fulbright Fellowship, etc.

He published 11 research monographs and over 240 research papers in leading international journals (including 17 in Science and Nature journals), cited over 6.500 times (h = 40, i10=86), and was awarded six patents. He chaired 20 international conferences, and gave over 250 invited talks, keynote and plenary addresses. He referees regularly for Science, Nature, and other leading journals, as well as for funding agencies in US, Canada, EU, Germany United Kingdom, France, Netherlands, Italy, Switzerland, Israel, etc. He served internationally on numerous panels and committees, including prize, faculty election, and Ph.D. thesis juries.

His research interests include basic physics of condensed states of matter, novel electronic phenomena including unconventional superconductivity, innovative methods of thin film synthesis and characterization, interface physics, and mesoscopic (nano-scale) phenomena.
