About
Prof. Ana Akrap is a Full Professor in the Physics Department at the Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb. She leads experimental research on light fermion spectroscopy and topological materials, employing optical spectroscopy under extreme conditions such as high magnetic fields, low temperatures, and high pressure. Previously affiliated with the University of Fribourg, she is part of the Experimental Physics division's Condensed Matter group. Her teaching responsibilities include overseeing undergraduate and graduate physics laboratories and a doctoral seminar in Condensed Matter Physics. Research projects include collaborations on SAT-PHENO, Graparion, and MIAU, with laboratory affiliations to LTSMFL, Microwave, NMR, and ALICE facilities.
Her work focuses on understanding charge dynamics in novel materials, particularly topological insulators and Weyl/Dirac semimetals. Despite no explicit awards listed, her research contributions reflect active involvement in cutting-edge condensed matter studies. Advising and grants are inferred through her leadership roles in experimental labs and doctoral programs. She is based in Zagreb, Croatia, and maintains an online presence via her personal webpage and institutional profile.
