Biography
Blaž Winkler is a 3rd year joint phd. student of physics at the university of Nova Gorica, Slovenia, and optics/photonics at university Jean Monnet Saint-Etienne, France. His research combines state of the art numerical methods for structural, electronic and optical properties with established experimental procedures to understand the effect of excess oxygen on point defects in amorphous silicon dioxide (silica). Silica is material with wide range of application in modern technology like micro-processors, optical fibers and other high performance light guides. Results of his work within well established internation group is expected to lay foundation for new generation of such devices.
