RNDr. Antonín Fejfar, CSc.

(born in 1962 Počátky)
 

A. Fejfar studied physical microelectronics from1981 to 1986 at Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of Charles University in Prague. In 1991 he defended a CSc. (Ph.D. equivalent) thesis about the preparation of organic semiconducting thin films and then he went for a post-doctoral stay to Kyoto University, Japan (1991–93). Since 1994 he works at the Institute of Physics of the Academy of Sciences. In 2007–08 he was a visiting professor at Institute of Chemical Research of Kyoto University.

In his research he specializes to physics of thin films of nanostructured semiconductors for application in solar cells and photonics. He is an author or coauthor of more than 80 papers in international journals which have been cited more than 500 times. He is member of Academic council, member of scientific board of Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of Brno University of Technology, secretary of the Czech Nanoteam and one of the main organizers of the international summer school series on Physics at Nanoscale. He supervised students on undergraduate and graduate levels as well as high school students in the Open Science project. He takes part in popularization of science, especially in the field of solar energy and nanosciences.
