Alex Destrieux as an invited researcher in Brno
The treatment of organic materials for photovoltaics is the research topic of Alex Destrieux. After finishing his PhD in Canada, the French scientist came to Brno to continue his work.
3rd Plasma Nanotechnologies and Bioapplications Workshop
The Plasma Nanotechnologies and Bioapplications Research Group of the Department of Plasma Physics and Technology and the Large Research Infrastructure CEPLANT organized their third workshop in October 2023.
The workshop took place in Rustikal Hotel in Hustopeče from Monday October 9th to Thursday October 12th, 2023. The now traditional research group's workshop is organized every two years. This year was exceptional thanks to rich international attendance.
Not only members of the research group, but also international guests presented a total of 29 talks. The topic was contemporary trends in plasma nanotechnologies and recent activities in applications and cooperations with research institutions and industrial partners. Foreign colleagues presented their institutions and research activities and Plasma Nanotechnologies and Bioapplications group presented several topics, specifically: new developments and diagnostics of DBD, plasma and glass processing, plasma in contact with liquids, plasma water purification, plasma and bioapplications, plasma reduced graphene oxide, and plasma surface processes.

Among foreign attendees were scientists from:
- the Department of Experimental Physics and the Division of Environmental Physics, both of the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics at Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia
- HAWK University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Germany
- University of Stuttgart in Germany
- University of Ljubljana in Slovenia
- BOKU University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna, Austria
Let's close with the success of this workshop through several newly discussed proposals for cooperation with international partners. Our plasma technologies are still proving themselves as innovative tools for new areas of research and technological improvement.
