Ivan Bozovic received his PhD in Solid State Physics from Belgrade University, Yugo-slavia, where he was later elected a professor and the Physics Department Head. After moving to USA in 1985 he worked at Stanford University, the Varian Research Center in Palo Alto, California, and in Oxxel, Bremen, Germany. Since 2003, he is the MBE Group Leader at Brookhaven National Laboratory, and since 2014 also an Adjunct Pro-fessor of Applied Physics at Yale University. He is a Member of European Academy of Sciences, Foreign Member of the Serbian Academy of Science and Arts, Fellow of APS, and Fellow of SPIE. He received the Bernd Matthias Prize for Superconducting Materials, SPIE Technology Award, the M. Jaric Prize, the BNL Science and Technolo-gy Prize, was Max Planck and Van der Waals Lecturer, and is a Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation PI. His research interests include basic physics of condensed states of matter, novel electronic phenomena including unconventional superconductivity, innovative methods of thin film synthesis and characterization, and nano-scale phys-ics. He has published 11 research monographs and over 290 research papers, includ-ing 30 in Science and Nature journals.
