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 […]

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 […]

New methodological approaches are being developed to address the current limitations in quantitative analysis of materials using photoelectron spectroscopy. These advancements include the application of femtosecond lasers for depth-profiling by XPS, preparation and modification of hybrid core-shell nanoparticles, and implementation of machine learning algorithms, enabling more accurate deconvolution of XPS spectra. I work at the […]

My primary scientific interest lies in understanding the coupling between spin, heat, and charge in magnetically non-trivial materials. Specifically, through magneto-thermal transport experiments, we experimentally study antiferromagnetic and altermagnetic materials. Our goal is to identify and detect robust spintronic, spin-caloritronic, and magnonic phenomena to contribute to the sustainable growth of information technology. I work […]
Dr. Joris Raeymaekers
My recent research focuses on holographic duality as a framework to understand quantum gravity. My interests can be divided into two broad research avenues. One line of research aims to delve into a deeper understanding of how holography works by studying tractable examples. I am interested in the holographic description of higher spin gravity theories […]
Ing. Štěpán Potocký, Ph.D.
Our group is looking for enthusiastic postdoc researchers who are keen to experimentally work on various issues related to chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of diamond, from efforts to achieve increased deposition rates and area or develop new routes in diamond doping for particular applications, especially in biomedicine, to proof-of-concept experiments on new applications. The key […]
RNDr. Václav Petříček, CSc.
I devoted my scientific career to developing the crystallographic computing program Jana (see http://jana.fzu.cz). The program’s latest version, Jana2020, covers most of the contemporary crystallography topics, namely structure determination of standard, aperiodic and magnetic structures from x-ray, neutron and electron diffraction data of single crystals of powders. It is used by 3000 users, and its […]
Dr. Marek Paściak
As a materials scientist, I am fascinated by the emerging order within seemingly chaotic mediums and intrigued by local textures. I am particularly interested in modern dielectric materials, primarily perovskites, in which intrinsic electric dipole moments can correlate over short distances or timescales and often form intricate topological nanoscale patterns. My research focuses on understanding […]
