Neven Grbac was born on August 2, 1974, in Rijeka, Croatia. He received the Ph.D. degree in mathematics from the Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science, Univerity of Zagreb, Croatia, in 2007. He is currently the full professor of mathematics at the Juraj Dobrila University of Pula, Croatia. Since 1999 until 2007 he was with the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing, University of Zagreb, Croatia, and since 2007 until 2018 he was with the Department of Mathematics, University of Rijeka, Croatia. He is married to Tihana Galinac Grbac, and the father of Mak, Vid and Lana.

His research interests are within the field of number theory, in particular, the Langlands program. More precisely, they include, but are not limited to the theory of automorphic forms, representation theory and cohomology of arithmetic groups. He has published 20 research papers and has given more than 30 talks at international conferences, workshop and seminars, including two courses at doctoral study programmes in Vienna and Zagreb, as well as three mini-courses for doctoral and post-doctoral students at the University of Michigan and the Universtiy of Vienna. As a visiting professor, he spent more than a year at several international research centers in Vienna, Bonn, Paris, Tokyo, Kyoto, Michigan etc.
