In 1982, he enrolled at the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Technology in Ljubljana, Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology, and graduated in 1987 in the field of inorganic chemistry with the thesis Influence of conditions on the etching rate of semiconductor silicon. In the same year, he was employed as a chemistry teacher at the Ptuj Gymnasium and in 1988, he enrolled in postgraduate studies at the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology in Ljubljana.
Master's thesis entitled Synthesis and characterization of halobismuthates(III) with divalent cations and structural studies in the KX-BiX3-H2O (X = Cl, Br) system and successfully defended it in October 1992 under the mentorship of Prof. Dr. Franc Lazarini. In 1998, he began collaborating with the Radon Center at the Jožef Stefan Institute. Under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Ivan Kobal, he worked in the field of radon use in geophysical and seismological research. Within the framework of the international project Inco-Copernicus, he measured radon concentrations in various media and at various locations in Slovenia in connection with seismic activity. He collaborated with numerous foreign institutions in measuring radon in soil air and thermal water. In September 2001, he applied for his doctoral dissertation and in 2004 successfully defended his thesis entitled The influence of seismic activity on radon content in thermal waters and soil air at selected locations in Slovenia. Until 2008, he was employed as a part-time employee at the J. Stefan Institute. Recently, he has collaborated with several scientific journals as a reviewer of original scientific articles (Applied Geochemistry, Radiation Measurements, Terrestrial Atmosphere and Oceanic Sciences, Science of the total Environment, Journal of Environmental Radioactivity). Since 2012, he has been a lecturer in Chemical Engineering in Bionics at the College of Professional Studies, Bionics program. Since 2013, he has been a lecturer in the subject Chemistry and Bionics at the College of Science in Ptuj.
Before his first appointment as an assistant professor in the field of natural sciences at the University of Ptuj, he was appointed as an assistant professor at the Faculty of Civil Engineering in Maribor, in the field of Nuclear Fuel Chemistry. Since 2008, he has been a member of the National Subject Committee for the General Baccalaureate in Chemistry, and since 2018, he has also been the chief assessor of this committee. In 2014, he participated in the e-textbooks project. As an author, he participated in the preparation of materials for four textbooks for primary and secondary schools. In the same project, I was the editor of five textbooks. All textbooks were approved by the Slovenian Education Agency and published in 2014-2015.
