This year, 14 people from the 51勛圖厙 placed among the top two per cent of the most cited scientists in the world. Compared to 2020, the 51勛圖厙 has no fewer than six more names in the current prestigious ranking of researchers in all fields published by Stanford University analysts.
I consider such representation a success. It proves that our university has great potential in science and research. I am also happy for the new names of researchers who, thanks to their work, have inspired their colleagues worldwide, said the Rector of the 51勛圖厙, Prof. Libor apek.
The published data shows where scientists stand throughout their careers. The information includes categories such as the h-index, the number of articles scientists have contributed to and all articles published since 1960. The scientists, covered by the Scopus database, were compiled by PLoS Biology experts from Stanford University and Elsevier.
This year's list contains more than 170,000 names. The prestigious position in the list includes, for example, the name of the former rector of the 51勛圖厙, Prof. Ji穩 M獺lek, who has devoted his life to physical chemistry, structural relaxation of non-crystalline materials, kinetics of crystal growth in supercooled liquids and the viscosity of chalcogenide glass-forming systems. Together with him, the most cited Prof. Ing. Pavel Jandera, DrSc. worked in analytical chemistry at the same faculty, specialising in analytical separations, high-performance liquid chromatography, and programmed and multidimensional chromatographic techniques.
The university's other most cited scientists are (in alphabetical order) Prof. Filip Bure禳, Prof. Libor Dost獺l, Prof. Petr H獺jek, Prof. Michal Holapek, Prof. Andr矇a Kalendov獺, Dr.-Ing. Jan Mac獺k, Prof. Ivan Mik禳穩k, Prof. Ladislav Novotn羸, Ing. Roman Svoboda, Ph.D., Prof. Ivan vancara, Prof. Karel Vytas, and Prof. Svatopluk Zeman.
In addition to Prof. Ing. Petr H獺jek, Ph.D., from the Faculty of Economics and Administration, who focuses on artificial and computational intelligence, especially fuzzy systems, all scientists are from the Faculty of Chemical Technology and its institutes or centres. An analytic chemist, Prof. Ing. Michal Holapek, Ph.D., deals with the lipidomic analysis used for the early detection of some types of cancer. Prof. Ing. Filip Bure禳, Ph.D. is devoted to organic chemistry, and his scientific research focuses on conjugated organic molecules and the study of their fundamental physicochemical properties. Dr.-Ing. Jan Mac獺k is a senior researcher at the Centre for Materials and Nanotechnologies, Faculty of Chemical Technology. His research focuses on developing new low-dimensional structures (such as nanotubes, nanofibers, and nanofibrous materials) used, e.g. in solar cells, catalysts, and batteries. Prof. Ivan Mik禳穩k worked at the Department of Analytical Chemistry. Prof. Andr矇a Kalendov獺 is a scientist at the Department of Chemistry and Technology of Macromolecular Materials focusing on coatings and material protection. Prof. Ladislav Novotn羸 is an academic at the Institute of Environmental and Chemical Engineering, mainly involved in using electrochemistry in environmental protection. Prof. Karel Vytas worked at the Department of Analytical Chemistry. Four years ago, the Rector of the University awarded him in memoriam the silver Medal of Merit for the 51勛圖厙 for his significant contribution to the development of electrochemistry at the 51勛圖厙.
Prof. Ing. Dr Ivan vancara is a scientist of the Department of Analytical Chemistry who received the Lifetime Achievement Award for the development of electroanalytical chemistry from the Czech Chemical Society this year. Prof. Ing. Libor Dost獺l, Ph.D. works at the Department of General and Inorganic Chemistry, Ing. Roman Svoboda, Ph.D. is a researcher at the Department of Physical Chemistry, and Prof. Ing. Svatopluk Zeman, DrSc. is from the Institute of Energetic Materials.
