Biography

Milko Jakšić is a senior scientist at the Ruđer Bošković Institute (RBI), Zagreb, the largest research institute in natural sciences of Croatia. During the last twenty years he is leading the Laboratory for ion beam interactions that operates accelerator infrastructure based on two electrostatic tandem ion beam accelerators. A wide range of experimental end stations are dedicated to ion beam analysis and ion beam materials modification applications, which are also the main research subjects of Milko Jakšić.
He has published more than 200 research papers, cited more than 2000 times. His current specific interests include development of techniques using focussed ion beams, in particular those based on single ions. Among them it is also an IBIC – ion beam induced charge, through which applications RBI group became widely recognised.
As a conference chair or a co-chair he organised several most important international conferences in the field of ion beam applications and has also been a leader or associate of many EU and IAEA funded projects. Since 2016, he is also a member of Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts.
