Associate Professor Petar Žugec is affiliated with the Department of Experimental Physics at the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics , University of Zagreb. He actively contributes to both undergraduate and graduate teaching , covering core topics in Physics 1, Physics 2, Symbolic Programming , and specialized courses in Nuclear Physics and Particle Physics . As a member of the CERN n_TOF collaboration , he focuses on neutron cross-section measurements critical for astrophysics and nuclear reactor applications . His research involves experimental nuclear physics using advanced detector systems , including Segmented Total Energy Detectors (sTED) and Compton gamma cameras . He participates in projects like PRECIOUS and SAT-PHENO , aiming to improve neutron capture data for stellar nucleosynthesis modeling . Recent publications emphasize machine learning applications in resolution function parametrization and event classification for high-precision experiments. His work at the CERN n_TOF facility addresses challenges in high count rate scintillation detectors and neutron-induced fission studies , particularly for 235U and 239Pu . He contributes to gamma-ray polarization research in positron emission tomography and has co-authored technical guidelines for detector setup characterization .
