Matic Lozinšek is a senior research associate at the JSI and an assistant professor of inorganic chemistry at the IPS. At the JSI, he is the head of the Extreme Conditions Chemistry Laboratory – ECCL. As a Marie Curie fellow, he completed his postdoctoral training in Canada. He is a recipient of the European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant (StG).
His research is focused on the inorganic fluorine chemistry and noble-gas compounds, fluoride materials and new synthetic approaches. To determine the crystal and molecular structures of new compounds, he mainly employes X-ray diffraction and vibrational spectroscopy, in combination with quantum-chemical calculations, 3D electron diffraction and nuclear magnetic resonance. He is interested in the influence of extremely high pressures from 1 to 100 GPa (10,000–1,000,000 bar) on the reactivity, structure and properties of compounds and quantum materials, which he studies using experiments in diamond anvil cells (DAC).
