Rector’s Award for Junior Academics

I was very pleased being selected by the scientific committee to receive the Rector’s Award for Junior Academics at University of Chemistry and Technology, Prague.

Four academics, from UCT, received the award in Betlehem Chapel in the Old Town in Prague, at that place, where Jan Hus hold his sermons in 15th century. Link to UCT news (in Czech). Link to Jan Hus on wiki.

Overall, this competition for young researchers at UCT was a big success for a whole Department of Physical Chemistry, since Marcela Dendisova (left), and Daniel Ondo, received a supporting price.

Return fellowship granted

My reintegration project with the title

“Microscopic insight into solvent-specific sorption and salting-out effects from MD simulations and theory of solution”

was granted by Alexander von Humboldt foundation for the period 6/2015-6/2016. As aimed, it will help me to integrate into Physical Chemistry Department at UCT, Prague. In particular I plan to cooperate with group of doc. Karel Friess (sorption into polymers ), and team around Dr. Pavel Vrbka (salting-out effects).
