Lukáš Ondič received the Best Presentation Award for his contribution titled Two-dimensional Photonic Crystals for Enhancing Light Extraction Efficiency from Luminescent Layers to The 2nd International Education Forum on Environment and Energy Science.
President of the Czech Academy of Sciences prof. J. Drahoš awarded the Ernst Mach Honorary Medal for Merit in Physical Sciences to prof. Alexander Lichtenstein on October 8th, 2015. The nomination of prof. Lichtenstein was prepared by the Institute of Physics CAS.
At the end of the last year, postgraduate student Miroslav Myška from the Department of Particle Theory and Phenomenology was awarded the Prize of the Rector of the Czech Technical University in Prague for an outstanding PhD thesis of the II. Degree.
Poster entitled "Computing interfacial properties of polypyrrole on diamond nanoparticles for photovoltaic applications" was announced as one of the five best student posters of the conference.
This year's awards went to the Department of Optical Materials, Department of Thin Films and Nanostructures and the Department of Astroparticles Physics.
Among other successes, he developed a program Superflip, which has been widely adopted by the crystallographic community and is one of the most commonly used programs in the field today.
This very sound breakthrough project of Dr Kusova indicates extensive application possibilities, e.g. in manufacturing tiny light sources integrated onto silicon chips, or in biological and medical uses. It is already a second significant award for Kateřina, who was also one of three laureates of the 8th year of Czech edition of the competition L’Oréal for women in science 2014.
Václav Petříček has been awarded for his contribution to the practical application of the theory of aperiodic structures in his computing system JANA. The Max Perutz Prize is one of two highest appreciation in the field of crystallography. Currently, almost every modulated structure is solved with JANA, and the program gets about 300 citations per year.
A team, which is Vitezslav Jary a member of, managed to find a novel, previously not investigated a group of materials which could find usage in industry, medicine, security as well as in science.
