Rudolf Podgornik Biography

Rudolf Podgornik is one of the most popular and richest Physicist who was born on August 27, 1955 in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

In 1986-1989 he was awarded the Fogarty fellowship, at the Laboratory of Structural Biology, Division of Computer Research and Technology, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda. In 1992 he received a postdoctoral fellowship of the Swedish Research Council at Physical Chemistry 2 of the Chemical Center at Lund University. In 1995 he was the recipient of the Division of computer research and technology Director’s award for “recognition and appreciation of special achievement” (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda). In 1999 he was the recipient of the Zois Award, which is the highest prize for scientific excellence in Slovenia [15]. In 2002 he was awarded the CNRS Chercheur Associe fellowship at the Laboratoire de Physique des Solides – UMR 8502 Universite Paris Sud 11. In 2008 he was a co-recipient of the Martin Hirschorn IAC Prize, made possible by the generosity of Martin Hirschorn, given once every two years and funded by the INCE Foundation. In 2015 he was awarded the Joliot chair fellowship of the Ecole supérieure de physique et de chimie industrielles de la ville de Paris (ESPCI). In 2016-2017 he was awarded the Sackler Scholar award and became a Nirit and Michael Shaoul Fellow, within the framework of the Mortimer and Raymond Sackler Institute of Advanced Studies, Tel Aviv University, Israel. In 2017 he became a Foreign expert in the 1000 talents program of the Chinese government at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing.

Podgornik and coworkers discovered the line hexatic phase in the phase diagram of the concentrated long fragment DNA solutions [1]. The line hexatic mesophase appears to be the preferred packing form of long DNA in bacteriophages. He is the author of more than two hundred scientific papers [2] and a coeditor of books: “Electrostatic Effects in Soft Matter” [3] (Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute, Les Houches, France, 1–13 October 2000, Series: NATO Science Series II: Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, Vol. 46 ), together with Christian Holm and Patrick Kekicheff and “Electrostatics of Soft and Disordered Matter” [4] (Pan Stanford Publishing, March 31, 2014) with David S. Dean, Jure Dobnikar and Ali Naji. Together with D. Harries, J. DeRouchey, H. H. Strey, and V. A. Parsegian, he coauthored the chapter “Interactions in Macromolecular Complexes Used as Nonviral Vectors for Gene Delivery”, in the leading textbook of gene therapy: “Gene Therapy: Therapeutic Mechanisms and Strategies” [5], N. Smyth – Templeton, Marcel Dekker, New York (2008), Third Edition.
