Andraž Šuligoj is a researcher specializing in photocatalysis and advanced materials for environmental applications. He earned his PhD in Environmental Sciences from the University of Nova Gorica, focusing on TiO₂/SiO₂ catalysts for air purification. His expertise spans synthesis of immobilized photocatalysts, surface modification with transition metals, and Fenton-like processes at neutral pH. Dr. Šuligoj has worked at leading institutions including the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology and the University of Cincinnati. He has co-authored over 30 peer-reviewed papers and holds a national patent. Currently affiliated with the National Institute of Chemistry and the University of Ljubljana, he collaborates with industry on real-world photocatalytic systems. His work has earned multiple awards, a Fulbright grant, and reviewer roles for major scientific journals.
