Head of the Smart Organic Materials group at the Department of Organic Chemistry, UCT Prague
Michal is an early-carrier scientist with a strong academic background in organic chemistry and separation science. Michal was originally engaged with the design and synthesis of novel bent-core liquid crystals. During his stay in Hungary, he also studied the physical properties of these unique materials. During his post-doc stay, Michal was responsible for the technology transfer of a patented chiral stationary phase from the laboratory to the industry. Apart from this task, he successfully designed more than twenty other chiral selectors and pioneered the utilization of chiral strong cation exchangers in supercritical fluid chromatography.
He focused on interconnecting the chemistry and physics of liquid crystals with the design and evaluation of stationary phases. This effort was awarded in 2014 by the Award of the rector of UCT Prague for young investigators. After becoming an associate professor, Michal founded a Smart Organic Materials group. Together with his students and colleagues, he works on the design and synthesis of liquid crystalline materials for optical applications, light-driven systems for materials and chromatography, and particularly on the design and synthesis of novel chiral and achiral stationary phases for liquid chromatography.
