معرفی
Saša Ceci is a Senior Research Associate at the Ruđer Bošković Institute in Zagreb, Croatia, working in the Department of Experimental Physics and the Laboratory for Elementary Particle Physics. With a PhD in Physics from the University of Zagreb and postdoctoral experience at the University of Georgia, he has established himself as a prominent researcher in particle physics.
Dr. Ceci earned his B.A. in Physics from the University of Zagreb (Faculty of Science and Technology) in 1998, followed by a Master of Science in 2003 and a PhD in 2007, all from the University of Zagreb (Faculty of Science). He completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Georgia (UGA), USA in 2008.
His research focuses on hadronic physics and resonances, with particular expertise in elementary particle physics and nuclear physics. Dr. Ceci's work often involves analyzing particle collision data to understand fundamental properties of resonances and hadronic interactions. His research combines theoretical models with experimental data analysis, contributing significantly to our understanding of particle physics phenomena. He has made important contributions to the extraction of pole and Breit-Wigner resonance parameters, as evidenced by his highly cited publications in Physical Review Letters.
Dr. Ceci's recent publications span from 2020-2023 and demonstrate his active involvement in major particle physics experiments, particularly with the CMS Collaboration at CERN. His work covers diverse topics including resonance physics, heavy ion collisions, detector development, and searches for physics beyond the Standard Model. The consistent high-impact factor of his publications reflects the significance of his contributions to the field.
