Diamond thin films become a universal material platform for various applications due to the extraordinary combination of their intrinsic properties. From this point of view, our CVD deposition and post-growth techniques represent technologically sophisticated solutions offering the fabrication of diamond films tailored to demand-specific needs for electronics, biosensors, electrochemistry, quantum sensing, life science or regenerative […]

My research is focused on development and testing of new radiation hard semiconductor detectors of ultrarelativistic particles that are produced on the particle accelerators. The biggest project I am currently working on is the ATLAS Inner Tracker (ATLAS ITk) project, whose main goal is to build a new all-silicon tracking detector of the ATLAS […]

Our group is looking for enthusiastic postdoc researchers who are keen to experimentally work on exploring novel materials for spintronics applications. We particular focus is on magnetic materials with compensated magnetic order which includes antiferromagnets and altermagnets. The recently discovered altermagnets combine and extend the functionality of antiferromagnets and ferromagnets, host an anisotropic spin split […]

We prepare and investigate materials for applications in nuclear industry. In this area we cooperate with nuclear industry and education/science centres. Our materials were selected by Westinghouse as potential candidates for Accident Tolerant Fuel in commercially operated reactors. Specifically, we found a new and effective concept of nuclear fuel rod protection against degradation at accidental […]
RNDr. Jaromír Kopeček, Ph.D.
My key area of interest is relation of crystal structure, microstructure and mainly mechanical properties. I started my scientific carrier investigating yield stress anomaly in ordered iron aluminides (FeAl and Fe3Al) and continued with shape memory alloys as other type of intermetallics just involving martensitic transformation. My research involves working collaboratively in teams to investigate […]

I am mainly focused on crystallography, crystal chemistry and the mineralogy of uranium. Besides it, I am interested in the solution and refinement of complex inorganic structures, namely mineral structures of complex oxysalts and sulfosalts. I am using all possible types of diffraction and spectroscopy experiments to reveal details of the atomic structure. The scientific […]

We focus on the prediction of thermoelectric properties using electronic structure calculations. Thermoelectric effect is the ability of a given material to generate electric voltage in the presence of a temperature gradient, thereby ensuring the conversion of thermal energy into electrical energy. To determine the energy conversion efficiency, the dimensionless material quantity ZT = T(S2·σ)/(λL+λe), […]

My research is focused on the ATLAS experiment at CERN. I am actively contributing to measurements studying effects of strong interactions between quarks and gluons and testing fundamental properties of the electroweak theory in multiboson processes. I am currently a convener of the Standard Model Group in ATLAS and oversee analysis design and paper publications […]
Sergey Karpov, Ph.D.
My primary research interests are high temporal resolution astrophysics, time-domain sky surveys, astronomical data processing pipelines and transient detection algorithms. I am currently working on the development of automated data analysis pipelines for various time domain sky surveys, and participating in the development of transient detection and characterization infrastructure for upcoming Vera C. Rubin Legacy […]
