Since January, our team has been strengthened by Mgr. Dana Skácelová, who has returned after maternity leave and will continue in her previous scientific activities. Since February, a new colleague, Mgr. Mária Kováčová, PhD., came to our research group. She will focus on the preparation and characterization of carbon nanomaterials, graphene oxide and nanocomposites, as well as the preparation of antibacterial polymer composite materials using plasma technologies. We believe that by joining our research group it will contribute to strengthening our scientific performance and international cooperation.
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.
