The Dean's Award

On Friday, November 19, the Dean of the Faculty of Science awarded Assoc. Prof. Dušan Kováčik with Medal of Masaryk University. Associate Professor Kováčik has been working at the Department of Physical Electronics since 2011, where he is engaged in research and development of atmospheric sources of low-temperature plasma based on dielectric barrier discharges and their potential application. Within the CEPLANT center, he is responsible, among other things, for cooperation with industrial partners and research institutions with the aim of transferring advanced plasma technologies into practice.

Workshop in Broumov, October 11-14, 2021

The workshop in Broumov was a success, 20 lectures with various topics were given and there was still some free time left to get to know the Broumov region. New PhD students had the opportunity to meet with other participants and during the lectures to gain knowledge that they will use in further research. We are glad that due to the situation the workshop could take place with in-person participation. An electronic version of the Book of abstracts is available on the Munispace portal.

Visit from the Nanize company

At the beginning of October, Dr. Kingsley Iwu from Nanize (Narvik, Norway) visited our laboratory. We have been cooperating with the Nanize company since 2020 within the contract research, which concerns the preparation of durable anti-fouling and anti-soiling surfaces. Atmospheric pressure plasma is used here to cure the prepared polysilazane layers. The aim of this research is to develop layers that can be used, for example, as anti-graffiti coatings.
