Head of Laboratory at the Department of Materials Chemistry at National Institute of Chemistry

Assoc. Prof. Nejc Hodnik completed his PhD with Dr. Stanko Hočevar in 2013 at the National Institute of Chemistry (NIC), Slovenia. He was then a Marie Curie Intra-European fellow associated with the group of Prof. Mayrhofer in the MPIE. In 2019, he became an associate professor at the University of Nova Gorica, obtained an ERC Starting Grant project on the topic of noble metal nanoparticles' electrocatalytic and structural behavior at the atomic level (ERC Project: 123STABLE), and started a new Laboratory of Electrocatalysis. In 2021 he also obtained ERC Proof of Concept Grant on the topic of the production of better and more advanced catalysts for hydrogen fuel cells (ERC project: StableCat). His research focuses on nanoscale electrocatalyst degradation studies with advanced electrochemical characterization methods, synthesis, electron microscopy, recycling, etc.
