Professors Adamović and Dujella among the most influential scientists in the world in 2023

Based on the profiles of scientists in the Scopus database, scientists from Stanford University have published updated lists of the 2% most cited scientists in the world. The lists are based on data downloaded on August 1, 2024. There are two lists - the first refers to the entire career and the second, annual, for the year 2023. The new lists now traditionally include prof. Dražen Adamović and academician prof. Andrej Dujella. Prof. Adamović is on the list for 2023, and prof. Dujella on the list for his entire career. The lists are available at the following link: https://elsevier.digitalcommonsdata.com/datasets/btchxktzyw/7 From Croatian mathematicians, Tomislav Došlić, Andrej Dujella, Josip Pečarić and Damir Vukičević are on the list for their entire careers, and for 2023 Dražen Adamović, Tomislav Došlić, Josip Pečarić and Damir Vukičević are on the list. From the Croatian mathematical diaspora, the lists include Mladen Bestvina, Predrag Cvitanović, Ivan Gutman, Igor Mezić, and the late Branko Grünbaum and Andro Mikelić. We congratulate professors Adamović and Dujella for their continued presence in the top of the scientific world!

 Doctoral studies last for three years, taking place in accordance with the general acts of the University of Zagreb and the University of Zagreb Faculty of Science, and in accordance with the accredited study programs.

 

1)     Applicants achieve the right to enrolment under certain conditions, namely:

     in the doctoral study in Biology, applicants who have acquired a degree of the graduate university study in Biology at the Faculty of Science, or other equivalent graduate university study, with the grade point average of at least 3.50

     in the doctoral study in Physics, applicants who have acquired a degree in engineer/research-oriented graduate university study in Physics at the Faculty of Science in major modules: 1) elementary particle physics, 2) nuclear physics, 3) astrophysics, 4) atomic and molecular physics, 5) physics of condensed matter, 5) biophysics, 7) medical physics), or other equivalent graduate university study, with the grade point average of at least 3.50

     in the doctoral study in Geology, applicants who have acquired a degree of graduate university study in Geology at the Faculty of Science, or other equivalent university graduate university study, with the grade point average of at least 3.50
