معرفی
Vibor Jelić serves as Head of Department and Senior Research Associate at the Rudjer Boskovic Institute's Department of Experimental Physics, Laboratory for Astroparticle Physics and Astrophysics, while holding the position of titular Associate Professor of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of Zagreb's Faculty of Science. His research bridges observational astrophysics and cosmology through cutting-edge radio astronomy techniques.
- PhD in Astrophysics, University of Groningen (2010)
- Diploma in Physics, Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb (2006)
His research focuses on low-frequency radio astronomy and cosmological signal detection, specializing in Faraday tomography of the interstellar medium, 21cm cosmology during the Epoch of Reionization, and polarized emission studies. Jelić pioneers techniques for analyzing LOFAR data to map Galactic magnetic fields and interstellar structures, while developing methods to separate cosmological signals from foreground contamination. His work on GRB X-ray halos provides novel insights into interstellar dust distribution.
Analysis of his recent publications reveals a dominant focus on LOFAR data exploitation across multiple research threads: Galactic magnetic field mapping through Faraday rotation measures, Epoch of Reionization signal detection, and interstellar medium characterization using polarimetric techniques. Key methodological contributions include advanced foreground removal algorithms and tomographic reconstruction of interstellar structures.
Jelić mentors numerous graduate students across Croatian and international institutions, supervising research on topics ranging from Faraday tomography to galaxy evolution. His funded projects include the HrZZ Research Project Understanding Low Radio Frequency Radiation: Towards a New Generation of Radio Telescopes (LowFreqCRO), Croatian-French collaboration on Understanding Faraday Structures through MHD Turbulence, and Croatian Research Council career development initiatives.
He leads the Laboratory for Astroparticle Physics and Astrophysics at the Rudjer Boskovic Institute, directing research on cosmic magnetism and low-frequency radio observations. His team maintains strong collaborations with international consortia including the LOFAR collaboration and Radboud University, operating at the intersection of observational astrophysics and computational data analysis.
