Bucar, Kreso - University College London

个人简介

Krešo Bučar joined the Department of Chemistry in 2013 as a Lecturer and UCL Excellence Fellow. He obtained a BSc in chemistry with Dr Ernest Meštrović at the University of Zagreb, and a PhD in chemistry from the University of Iowa with Prof Leonard R. MacGillivray. He then started his independent research career as a Royal Society Newton International Fellow at the University of Cambridge with Prof William Jones. While in Cambridge, he was also a Bye-Fellow and Director of Studies at Sidney Sussex College. Krešo’s research interests mainly concern organic crystalline materials and their applications.
