Biography

Vlasta Bonačić-Koutecký is a Professor in a Department of Chemistry, Humboldt University, Berlin. Since 2010 she has established the Interdisciplinary Center for Advanced Science and Technology (ICAST) at the University of Split, Croatia and became a head of Center of Excellence STIM in 2014. In the field of nanoscience Vlasta Bonačić-Koutecký has recognized, before others, that metal nanoclusters (with only few atoms) have unique structural, optical and reactivity properties which are combining molecular-like with metallic features. This added a new unexpected dimension to the traditional nanoscience, introducing small metal nanoclusters into material science within the field of nanocatalysis for renewable energy as well as nanooptics and nano-biosensing for medical diagnostics.
