Welcome to Zoran Kokan

The Turel group welcomes the new guest team member, postdoc Zoran Kokan. Zoran started his one-month secondment on the 1st of October arriving from the Srećko Kirin Group from the Ruđer Bošković Institute, Zagreb, Croatia. His stay is supported by the Slovenian-Croatian bilateral project entitled ”Catalytic and biological properties of metal complexes of nitrogen ligands”. Zoran’s main field of research is the bioinspired asymmetric catalysis using aminoacid derived pyridyl and phosphine ligands for stereoselective chemical transformations.
