The Laboratory of Molecular Electronics and Smart Materials of the Department of Computing and Control Engineering, UCT Prague in cooperation with Tanta University and Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology has obtained an Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility project. The received funds will enable the staff and students of all institutions to conduct experiments in the laboratories of their foreign partners as a part of long-term study and work internships. This three-year project builds on the previous successful cooperation between UCT Prague and Tanta University in the field of materials based on conducting polymers for the catalysis and degradation of toxic substances in wastewater treatment.
The Laboratory of Molecular Electronics and Smart Materials will work with both Egyptian universities on key topics for solving current Egypt’s environmental problems - polluted air and surface water. The aim of the cooperation is to develop new materials and equipment that will enable rapid detection, absorption or decomposition of pollutants.
The project was also created thanks to the very good work of the employees of the Department of International Relations of UCT Prague.
- From Monday, 20 April 2020, the opening hours for urgent matters are as follows:
Monday and Wednesday 9am - 16am. - All staff of the Dean's Office, Dean, Faculty Secretary and Vice-Deans can handle all matters electronically via school e-mails. For bachelor and master studies contact Hana Svobodová, for doctoral studies Ing. Kamila Klaudisová).
- If necessary, it is possible to use the telephone contact to the Dean and the Faculty Secretary from 9am to 11pm.
- A personal meeting must be agreed in advance by e-mail or telephone.

Editor's Choice: Paul Cremer
Associate Editor Paul Cremer highlights the article of Jan Heyda et al. “Guanidinium can both Cause and Prevent the Hydrophobic Collapse of Biomacromolecules“, an open access article published under an ACS AuthorChoice License:
“Guanidinium salts are widely used as protein denaturants. In this work, we showed that their influence on biomacromolecules depended strongly upon the identity of the specific anion with which the guanidinium cation was paired. This led to very rich chemistry.
For example, low concentrations of GndSCN helped to stabilize the collapsed state of the macromolecule despite the fact that higher concentrations of the same salt served as a powerful denaturant. Moreover, Gnd2SO4 worked as a stabilizer of protein structure, but for very different mechanistic reasons than low concentrations of GndSCN.
This work highlights the strong interplay of thermodynamics, spectroscopy, and theory that is currently employed to unravel challenging mechanistic problems in modern biophysical chemistry.”

The development department of ZENTIVA is proud to announce that Tereza Boleslavská, as the first Zentiva student, has just started two-month training at the Trinity College in Dublin within the frame of ORBIS (Open Research Biopharmaceutical Internships Support) program sponsored by 2.3 mio EUR grant from European Commission (HORIZON 2020). The aim of ORBIS is to create a bridge between academic and industrial scientists in order to develop new efficient methodologies in pharmaceutical RD. Zentiva will keep sending its best students and employees to study in the best European academic institutions. At the same time our academic partners will spend period of research work in Zentiva laboratories having the opportunity not only interact with our scientific staff but to gain experience from the pharmaceutical business and manufacturing as well.
Schedule of Theoretical chemistry seminars (UCT & IOCB) for Spring 2018 is available. We have prepared a mixture of talks given by postdocs, local or domestic senior scientists and by distinguished speakers from abroad. Not only for UCT students, we have included three engineering oriented lectures.



ATHENS interdisciplinary course on “DIGITAL SIGNAL AND IMAGE PROCESSING WITH APPLICATIONS” organized by Department of Computing and Control Engineering, UCT Prague, took place on November 14-18, 2016.

Laboratory of Inorganic Materials, a joint workplace of the University of Chemistry and Technology Prague and the IRSM ASCR, v.v.i., was awarded a two-year contract to work with US national Laboratories on the development of the mathematical model of glass melting during the vitrification of nuclear waste.
The team at UCT Prague is headed by Richard Pokorny, a PhD student at the Department of Chemical Engineering, who already cooperated with US laboratories for several years. “Together with associated professor Jaroslav Klouzek, we will build on my previous work, and will focus on the development of the model for batch to glass conversion in nuclear waste melter. Using this model, we will be able to predict the melting rate, and help to optimize the whole conversion process”, Mr. Pokorny says.
About the Vitrification project:
In southeastern Washington state, Bechtel National, Inc. is designing, constructing, and commissioning the world’s largest radioactive waste treatment plant for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). When complete, the Hanford Tank Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant, also known as the Vit Plant, will process and stabilize million gallons of radioactive and chemical waste currently stored at the Hanford Site.

On November 9-10, Jan Heyda from FCHE attended a rector’s conference of universities for the Danube region and Central Europe at the Danube University Krems. At this conference, young scientists—one from each of the participating states—received awards.
The award seeks to encourage young scientists to engage themselves in the scientific examination of the multifaceted issues and questions specifically related to the Danube and to stimulate the specific community in the Danube Region. Universities, Academies of Sciences and research institutions in all 14 countries of the Danube Region have been encouraged to nominate suitable and promising candidates that have been assessed by an international expert jury. The highest ranked candidate of each of the countries that submitted eligible nominations will now be awarded with the prize.
Dr. Jan Heyda, born June 18th, 1983, is a theoretical physical chemist, experienced in atomistic computer simulations, development of coarse-grained models, and applications of statistical thermodynamics. His fields of research are soft matter and aqueous solutions; in particular, ion- and cosolvent-specific effects and the control of biomolecular stability. During his PhD and postdoctoral research, he made a step from qualitative characterization of weak ion-specific effects to their thermodynamics description.
Dr. Heyda is co-author of 37 publications in peer-reviewed journals, with more than 600 citations and h-index of 17. He holds several awards.
