Mgr. Petr Bílek, Ph.D. successfully finished his doctoral studies on 1st October 2020. The topic of his dissertation thesis was “Towards predictive and reliable models of plasma chemical kinetics”. He used methods of sensitivity analysis and quantification of uncertainty to investigate the effect of uncertainty of inputs on observable model. He contributed to improvement of diagnostics approach used to determine electric fields in transient and non-equilibrium discharges in air (e.g. DBD, corona discharge or geophysical plasmas).
MUNI vice-reactor grants this excellent achievement award to absolvents of doctoral programs who finished their studies in standard four years, who’s dissertation thesis is excellent quality and who’s scientific results were published in science journals of Q1 level.
