Doctoral student František Zelenák successfully defended the project as a part of the Brno Ph.D. Talent scholarship competition. The project deals with graphene with the aim of bringing innovation in its production and functionalization that it can be applied in industry. He is one of 18 young scientists from MU who succeeded in the competition this year. Congratulations and we wish him much success in his scientific work! Details on the current year of the competition are available here. You can find an interview with František Zelenák about his journey from chemistry to physics on the physics website.
Do you also want to become a Brno Ph.D. Talent grant holder and follow the students who succeeded before you? It will be possible to register for the next year in September, but it is worth to start preparing the project ahead of time.
At the beginning of April, the Day with ERC, an event for junior researchers took place. The aim of the discussion meeting for junior scientists is networking. Dr. Jakub Kelar from the Department of Plasma Physics and Technology was nominated as a representative from the Faculty of Science.
Prof. Christoph Gerhard and his colleagues visited their project partners at the Department of Plasma Physics and Technology and the CEPLANT Centre in the second week of April 2024. Scientists from the HAWK University of Applied Sciences and Arts Hildesheim/ Holzminden/ Göttingen and our research group are working together on the functionalization of fibers.
