Department of Theoretical Physics at NPI Now Led by Vít Jakubský
02. 09. 2024
From September 1, 2024 Ing. Vít Jakubský, Ph.D., DSc. has become the new head of the Department of Theoretical Physics (DTP). Dr. Jakubský, who succeeded prom. phys. Jiří Adam, CSc., was unanimously recommended for the position by the selection committee in an internal selection process in which Dr. Jakubský was the only candidate.
Dr. Jakubský is a prominent figure in the scientific community. He holds, among others, the title of "Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences", which he received in October 2023 after defending his dissertation entitled "Analysis of Dirac Materials with the Methods of Mathematical Physics". His work focuses on one- and two-dimensional systems described by the Dirac equation.
"I wish Dr. Jakubský good nerves and much success in his new position," said Ondřej Svoboda, Director of the Nuclear Physics Institute, who also thanked Dr. Jiří Adam for his many years of successful and dedicated work as head of the DTP.
According to Dr. Jakubský, the main task of the DTP and other institutions involved in theoretical physics is and will continue to be to push the boundaries of knowledge in the field. "I would like our department to continue this work as well, if not better, than in the past," said the new head of DTP.
