A. (Antonija) Grubisic-Cabo, PhD
Antonija Grubisic-Cabo is an Assistant Professor at the Zernike Institute for Advanced Materials (Faculty of Science and Engineering) of the University of Groningen. She is the principal investigator (PI) of the research group "Experimental nanophysics with advanced spectroscopic and structural analysis methods", studying electronic and structural properties of nanomaterials in and out of equilibrium. Her main research interests are two-dimensional (2D) and quantum materials, such as graphene, 2D transition metal dichalcogenides, magnetic topological insulators and Weyl and Dirac semimetals. Antonija Grubisic-Cabo is an experienced synchrotron and free-electron laser user, and has extensive experience with angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), time-resolved ARPES and scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy.
Antonija Grubisic-Cabo studied at the University of Zagreb in Croatia, where she obtained a Masters degree in Physics. She received her PhD degree in Nanoscience from Aarhus University, Denmark, in 2017. Her with PhD work focused on 2D materials and studies of their electronic band structure by ARPES and time-resolved ARPES. Following her PhD, Antonija moved to the Monash University, Australia, where she expanded her research tecnique interest on scanning tunneling microsopy and spectroscopy, as well as molecular orbital tomography. In 2019 she was awarede a KTH postdoctoral grat and moved to KTH, Sweden in 2020 where she worked in BALTAZAR lab developing time-resolved ARPES setup and studying semiconducting and topological materials. In February 2022 she joined the Zernike Institute for Advanced Materials as an Assistant Professor in the group of Surfaces and Interfaces. Her research focuses on electronic bandstructure changes in quantum and 2D materals upon excitation with light or modification of crystal structure, studied by time-resolved and static arngle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, diffraction and scanning tunneling microscopy.
