A. Fojtik, graduated in the Faculty of Technical and Nuclear Physics (presently Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical
Engineering) of the Czech Technical University in Prague. Nuclear Physics - Nuclear Chemistry (Diploma Thesis-Radiation
Chemistry and Physical Chemistry, Radiation Chemistry and Physical Chemistry)
He is a reputable expert with long-standing work experience and erudition in the field of nanostructures.
During 1982-1994 he was one of the leading figures in laying down the foundations and subsequent development of quantum
nanostructure studies at the prestigious research institution (Hahn-Meitner-Institute in Berlin) and ranks him among the true
pioneers in nano-research. (Laboratory at HMI was one of the first nuclei for nanoresearch in world.)
In the period 1994-1996 he devoted himself to the research of Si and Ge quantum nanostructures (e.g. studies of “luminous
silicon” in the Institute of Physics in Garching, TU Munich, Germany).
He realized middle and long term standing work experience at several universities abroad (Argonne National Laboratory, USA,
Institut of Physical Chemistry, Moscow, Russia).
He is a member of several foreign scientific societies (New York Academy of Science, and American Association for the
Advancement of Science).
He received quite a number of scientific and professional awards (e.g. several times the prize of the Academy of Sciences of the
Czechoslovak Republic). Presently he is active in Nanology at the Czech Technical University at Prague.
He is an author of 5 patents (e.g. the Color Front of the National Theatre New Scene – for which he was awarded with a state
distinction).
More than 100 published original papers, number of citations (more then 2400). Hirsch Index of 22.
He is being quoted as the very first researcher who started with experimental studies of nanostructures in the Czech Republic.
During the period 1986-88 his publications about the quantum nanostructures made from semiconductors obtained a very
prestigious placement among the first one hundred most cited papers in the world (e.g. the 47 th place according to the Current
Contents citation analysis, Vol. 28, No. 48, 1988, pp. 3-13).
Long term experience with leading various research teams. Department of Chemical Reactivity as well as the Department of
Photochemistry in the Academy of Sciences of the Czechoslovak Republic.
Presently, He is active in Nanotechnology at the Czech Technical University at Prague in formation and educating about
nanostructures as well as teaching topics like particle nanostructures for biomedical applications and also lecturing his students
at some other universities, e.g., in Asia: mainly at the Vietnam University at Saigon (HCM City), Hanoi, Universities, for BSc,
MSc. and PhD students and also in Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
