Born in 1973 in Prague, Czech Republic, Bohuslav Rezek graduated from Physics at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics at the Charles University in Prague and he continued at the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic (ASCR) in the group of Dr. Jan Kočka with PhD. study on charge transport in amorphous and microcrystalline silicon with high lateral resolution by using scanning probe techniques. During his PhD. he also spent several research stays in the group of Prof. Martin Stutzmann at the Walter Schottky Institut, Technische Universität München. There he worked with Dr. Christoph Nebel on development of large grain silicon thin films using interference laser crystallization of amorphous silicon layers and on their investigation by laser beam induced currents with a sub-micrometer lateral resolution, with a special view to optical and electronic properties of grain boundaries.

            After receiving PhD. degree in 2001, he continued in the group of Prof. Stutzmann as a postdoctoral researcher on the project for diamond devices and sensors where he focused on a study and modification of hydrogen terminated diamond surfaces and their electrolytic interfaces. In 2002 he joined the Nanotechnology Group at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, where he worked on guided assembly of colloidal nanoparticles at solid state surfaces. Since 2004 he worked at the Diamond Research Center of AIST in Tsukuba, Japan, doing research on surface (bio)-functionalized diamond devices.    

            In 2006 he became research group leader and Purkyně Fellow at the Institute of Physics ASCR in Prague, Czech Republic. In 2013 he habilitated in the field of applied physics. Since 2015 he became also a head of Physics dept. at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague. His research team is focused on nano-interfaces of semiconductors and organic materials towards opto-electronic and bio-electronic applications. Main interests lie in characterization and modification of material, electronic, and chemical properties by local probe techniques as well as in assembly of organic and inorganic nanostructures. He is the author or co-author of over 150 scientific articles in international peer-reviewed journals that were cited more than 2000 times as well as of book chapters (10), patents (4) and utility models (2).
