Biography
Dr. Žiga Laznik obtained his Ph.D. in Agronomy from the Biotechnical Faculty, University of Ljubljana, in 2011. Since 2006, he has been professionally engaged at the Chair for Phytomedicine, Agricultural Engineering, Arable Production, and Grassland Management at the same faculty. His academic career progressed from a teaching assistant (2007) to an assistant professor in plant protection (2013). Dr. Laznik specializes in biological pest control, with a focus on entomopathogenic nematodes and slugs. He has led and participated in numerous national and international research projects, including those funded by the EU (Horizon 2020, LIFE projects). His scientific contributions include 306 publications, of which 59 are original scientific papers (49 in IF journals), 14 review papers, and two short communications. He has mentored 12 undergraduate and 19 master’s students and has actively contributed to scientific conferences and workshops in plant protection. Dr. Laznik received the Solemn Charter of the University of Ljubljana (2017) and the Commendation for Best Pedagogical Worker (2021). He is a member of the Plant Protection Society of Slovenia and the International Organisation for Biological and Integrated Control (IOBC), as well as a reviewer for multiple scientific journals.
