Assoc. Prof. Pavel Dvořák researches in the field of plasma physics. He is active, namely in laser-based plasma diagnostics, especially in (TA)LIF of radical species, including measurements in surface discharges ignited at atmospheric pressure. The fluorescence studies included the TALIF research of atomizers, where we confirmed the crucial role of atomic hydrogen in the decomposition of volatile hydrides. Further, Pavel Dvořák works with capacitively coupled discharges, where he studies their ignition and nonlinear characteristics using theoretical calculations and various diagnostic methods.

Regarding other fields of science, he is an avid speleologist, and occasionally, he dabbles in photochemistry and processes in ice.

Dr. Navrátil's professional interest is concerned with the development and application of advanced optical emission spectroscopy methods for plasma diagnostics, especially of atmospheric pressure discharges.

Lucia Kuthanová (née Potočňáková) has a broad range of plasma science expertise, from plasma surface treatment with consequent chemical and morphological surface analysis, to plasma diagnostics of various discharges mainly by electrical and optical methods in spectrally, spatially and time-resolved manner. Recently she focused on non-stationary phenomena in filamentary discharges, induced instabilities in plasmas and interactions on plasma-liquid interfaces.

Currently on parental leave.

Adam Obrusnik is a Plasma Physics graduate. In his research, he has focused primarily on numerical simulation. He has used simulation for studying plasma kinetics and gas dynamics in atmospheric-pressure plasmas. During his undergraduate and graduate studies, he took several research stays at universities in Germany, Netherlands and Italy. Currently, he is expanding his knowledge in the area of low pressure plasmas, specifically in ion thrusters and magnetron sputtering.

Martina Mrkvičková focuses on laser-based plasma diagnostics, namely on a detection of various reactive species in plasma by one or two-photon absorption laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) or a determination of electric field by electric field induced second harmonic generation (EFISH).

Nima Bolouki is active in the fields of plasma diagnostics and low-temperature plasmas. He has previously performed research at several universities in Japan and Taiwan. He investigated non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasmas, especially nanosecond pulse and streamer discharges, using laser Thomson scattering. He currently focuses on laser-based plasma diagnostics through laser scattering in various atmospheric plasma sources. Moreover, his research interests include optical and laser diagnostics in low-temperature plasmas.
