Ing. Ivo Stachiv, Ph.D.
Our team is focusing on the design, fabrication, characterization, and mathematical modeling of a new class of metamaterials with intentionally changeable, tunable, or switchable functional properties; commonly referred to as 4D metamaterials. The variable functional properties and shape changes of these 4D metamaterials exploit the unique properties of smart materials or, alternatively, the so-called “meta-atom” […]
Doc. Mgr. Jan Soubusta, Ph.D.
We are building optical setups for the generation of specific quantum states, we test their evolution in communication channels or modify the states using designed quantum gates. To test their operation, we are used to performing quantum state or process tomography. Typically, we performed a theoretical analysis and verify theoretical conclusions using optical experiments on […]

Department of Advanced laser development focuses on research in the field of (ultra)short pulse lasers and nonlinear optics with breakthrough parameters. Our laboratory holds several world records in this research field. You can participate in the further development of kW-class lasers, frequency conversion of the light pulses to UV spectral range, research of new laser […]
Ing. Ondřej Slezák, Ph.D.
I am interested in all the topics connected to the numerical modelling and theory of the processes arisen in high-power laser amplifiers as well as in other optical components and devices. Since there are many deleterious phenomena which decrease the performance of high-power laser systems, my goal is their identification, analysis, and suggestion of the […]

My work aims at the theoretical interpretation of experiments on passive as well as active Brownian particles in narrow pores. This is a rapidly expanding field encompassing smart sieves for sorting colloid particles, microfluidic analysers, micro-swimmers for medical applications and more. In all these systems, non-trivial physics emerges from the interplay of driving out of […]
Dr. Constantinos Skordis
My primary field of research is cosmology and gravitation. I am particularly interested in the role gravity plays at various scales: from the smallest laboratory scales to those of the whole Universe. I have worked and published on the physics behind the observed cosmic acceleration using theoretical models based on scalar fields, commonly called dark […]
Mgr. Martin Schnabl, Ph.D.
I work at the intersection of string field theory and two-dimensional conformal field theory. String field theory is a powerful tool to understand relevant deformations in string theory known also as tachyon condensation. In open string theory, the story is fairly well understood, and one can use OSFT to learn about new consistent boundary conditions […]
Dr. Ignacy Sawicki
As a theoretical cosmologist, my focus lies in exploring how the universe can serve as a laboratory to experimentally test fundamental physics, particularly the theory of gravity, at scales that are beyond our reach on Earth. I am eager on overseeing fellows who are working towards similar goals. My particular expertise lies in model building […]
Dr. Eva Maria Martins dos Santos
I proposed a new method to reconstruct the longitudinal profile of the muon component of air showers using the surface detector array of the Pierre Auger Observatory. I worked at the ITeDA with a CONICET post-doc fellowship. During these three years, I focused my research on the reconstruction of the longitudinal profiles of the muon […]
Dr. hab. Katarzyna Roszak
My earlier research focused on the study of decoherence related effects in solid-state qubits, mainly quantum dots. This involved exploring various system-environment interactions, including phonon-induced decoherence of charge qubits, spin-orbit coupling mediated phonon decoherence of spin qubits, and decoherence processes induced by a spin environment. Since the studied systems were quite diverse, I had to […]
