Přednáška prof. Dr. Davida Tománka ve Slovanském sále

V pondělí 07.03. proběhne ve Slovanském sále (3 4h – 9:55-11:30) pro celou školu přednáška prof. Dr. Davida Tománka z univerzity Michigan.

Narrative biographical sketch
David Tománek studied Physics in Switzerland and received his
Ph.D. from the Free University in Berlin. While holding a position as
Assistant Professor of Physics in Berlin, he got engaged in
theoretical research in Nanostructures at the AT&T Bell
Laboratories and the University of California at Berkeley. He
established the field of Computational Nanotechnology at Michigan
State University, where he holds a position as Full Professor of
Physics. His scientific expertise lies in the development and
application of numerical techniques for structural, electronic and
optical properties of surfaces, low-dimensional systems and
nanostructures.
Since his PhD Thesis work, he promoted the use of computer
simulations to understand atomic-level processes at surfaces and
in atomic clusters. Witnessed in several hundred publications and invited talks are his results on
the electronic structure, mechanical, thermal, and optical properties, as well as quantum
conductance of nanostructures. His contributions to Computational Nanotechnology, in particular
in the field of fullerenes and nanotubes, have been rewarded by a Fellowship of the American
Physical Society, the Alexander-von-Humboldt Foundation Distinguished Senior Scientist Award
and the Japan Carbon Award for Life-Time Achievement.
