Biography
Dr Dragoslav (Drasko) Vidovic received his BSc from Simon Fraser University in Vancouver in 2002. He completed his PhD studies with Prof Alan Cowley at the University of Texas at Austin in 2007 after which he joined the Aldridge group at the University of Oxford for post-doctoral work. In 2010 he was appointed as an Assistant Professor at NTU
Research Interests
The research interests lie in developing highly reactive Lewis acids based on Group 13 elements as well as fundamental research (bond and reactivity) involving transition metal chemistry of these elements.
