Tomáš Homola holds Master and Doctoral degrees in Plasma Physics from Comenius University, Slovakia. For almost two years, he worked as an Intern at the Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology, A*STAR, Singapore, on plasma treatment and thin-film applications and roll-to-roll manufacturing technologies.

He is also experienced from research stays in Finland and Austria. Currently, he is a Scientist at Masaryk University focusing on plasma pre-treatment of various surfaces, plasma post-treatment of functional and energetical coatings, flexible/printed electronics, printing and roll-to-roll manufacturing methods

The rapidly growing field of flexible and printed electronics offers an unprecedented potential for revolutionizing traditional manufacturing methods. By enabling low-cost, high-throughput production of electronics on affordable plastic substrates, this innovative approach paves the way for advancements in photovoltaics and various other applications. However, commercialization of this segment remains an elusive goal. The cutting-edge materials and manufacturing processes currently in use are not compatible with thermally sensitive flexible materials.

Are you ready to tackle this challenge?

Our PhD program invites passionate researchers to embark on a journey into low-temperature plasma engineering. Working on novel nanostructured materials such as molybdenum disulfide, tungsten oxide, and iron oxides, you will explore their applications in various energy harvesting, storage systems, and sensing devices.

This research is not confined to theoretical explorations; it is strongly oriented towards real-world industrial applications. 

Explore a Unique Opportunity: Spend Six Months on an Internship at a High-Tech Company
During the study consider joining an internship at a leading high-tech company in Singapore or another global location. This six-month internship will allow you to delve into your research, apply your insights in a real-world setting, and connect with industry experts.
