OUR PEOPLE
Name
Terézia Jurkovičová
Terézia Jurkovičová from the Laboratory of Analytical Chemistry is one of the graduates of our Mentoring programme. Listen to how her participation in the programme helped her with combining motherhood and returning to work after parental leave.
Name
Jakub Vícha
A desire to unravel the enigmas of physics and a fascination with the cosmic mystery are the driving forces behind Jakub Vícha's research. However, working at the world's largest contemporary cosmic ray observatory, the Pierre Auger Observatory, does not prevent him from devoting his time to family life and sports.
Name
Jan Brajer
Jan Brajer, Head of the Industrial Laser Applications Department, presents the activities of the HiLASE Centre. Take a look at the areas of laser technology research and development that our colleagues in Dolní Břežany are working on.
Name
Alena Bakalová
Studying cosmic rays allowed Alena Bakalová from the Department of Astroparticle Physics to combine her two great interests - particle physics and astrophysics. Watch the video to see what she is working on and who inspires her research.
Name
Judita Anthi
The opportunity to complete her PhD. in Dr. Lísalová's team was a significant boost for Judith Anthi, who had not considered a scientific career until then. As a PhD. student, she was able to combine her studies with work in the Laboratory of Functional Biointerfaces and clarify where her next career steps would lead.
Name
Pavla Federičová
Pavla Federičová works on research in the Laboratory for the Testing of Silicon Particle Detectors. In the video, you will learn what experiments she performs in the lab, what her path to FZU was like, and what various activities she can engage in as part of her work.
