CONTENTS
Attended gymnasium in Zagreb. Graduated in Theoretical Physics from the University of Zagreb with the thesis: Direct Reactions Methods in Structure of the Nucleus: Direct and Transfer Reactions in DWBA and CC (Couple of Channels).
Studied Philosophy at the University of Zagreb.
University Assistant in Physics at the Department of Physics of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Zagreb for one semester. Taught Physics I (mechanics, hydrodynamics, and heat) and Physics III (applied physics-physics of materials).
Have since taught Physics (mechanics, hydromechanics, heat, optics, and electricity and magnetism), Applied Mathematics (partial differential equations and variational calculus with the associated numerical methods), and Statistics.
Also continued to do research in the philosophical background of natural sciences [ NJ9, NJ10, NJ11], as well as in the pedagogy of physics [ TB3].
A review paper in the field of interaction-free measurements is
(partly) [ IJ23] .
A review bibliography in the field of quantum logic, orthomodular
lattices, and other quantum structures is
