Research focus

The group is focused on the research of physicochemical properties of ice and its interactions with present substances, rational optimization of freezing process for lossless cryo- and lyoprotection of biochemically important substances. Furthermore, we are working on the understanding of the behaviour of substances in the ice matrix using spectroscopic, electrochemical and microscopic techniques and, last but not least, chemical actinometry with a focus on photon flows through ice. The application of our basic research is towards utility for pharmaceutical freezing and environmental sciences.

For students

As part of ongoing research and pedagogical activities, we offer cooperation in independent projects; final projects (students of the programme Chemistry) and bachelor's (students of the programme Chemistry with a view to Education), diploma and doctoral theses. Working on pedagogical topics in physical chemistry, metallic materials or computational modeling is also possible. We will be happy to show you our workplace and discuss the possibilities of involvement in our activities.
