Emil Tafra

Associate Professor Emil Tafra, Ph.D., is affiliated with the Department of Experimental Physics at the Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb. He holds a permanent position since 2020 after progressing from senior assistant (2009-2013) and assistant (2013-2020) roles. His employment history includes postdoctoral research at the Paul Scherrer Institute (Switzerland, 2010-2011).

His research focuses on magnetotransport properties of organic conductors, quasi-2D cuprates, manganites, and hybrid organic-inorganic materials, with particular emphasis on charge transport mechanisms and Mott-Anderson localization. He teaches Microelectronics, Low-temperature physics, and Electronics Practicum courses.

Current research projects include "Evolution of complex magnetic and polar orders" (HRZZ project, 2023-), "Collective effects and topological transport" (HRZZ, 2017-2022), and international collaborations like the France-Croatia COGITO Program (2013-2014).

Key publication trends show expertise in

• 2D electron systems
• Mott and Anderson transitions
• Spin-polarized transport
• Amorphous alloy properties
• Pressure-dependent metal-insulator transitions
• High-mobility oxide interfaces
