Bio of Jure Dobnikar：

Jure Dobnikar graduated in theoretical physics from University of Ljubljana in 2001. He worked as a postdoctoral fellow at University of Konstanz and University of Graz, and later as a senior researcher at Jožef Stefan Institute in Ljubljana and at University of Cambridge. In 2014, he moved to Beijing to manage the International Soft Matter Research Center at BUCT and in 2016 he accepted a permanent position at the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of sciences, where he is currently a full professor and the leader of the SM9 research group. His research interests are in physical modelling of soft and biological matter, particularly colloidal interactions, self-assembly, non-equilibrium phenomena, active matter, bacterial motility, and multivalent binding in cellular targeting and activation processes. He is also the director of the newly established CECAM-CN node with a mission to bring high quality scientific event organization and international exchange possibilities to China.
