prof. Ing. Miloslav PEKAŘ, CSc.
Brno University of Technology, Brno, Czech Republic, EU
Position: Materials Research Centre & Institute of Physical and Applied Chemistry, Faculty of Chemistry, Brno University of Technology, Brno, Czech Republic, EU
Specialization: physical and colloid chemistry, biocolloids
Prof. Miloslav Pekař received his M.Sc. in organic technology and Ph.D. in technical chemistry from the Institute of Chemical Technology in Prague, Czech Republic, EU in 1985 and 1991, respectively. After spending several years at the Czech Academy of Sciences, in regional analytical laboratory, and industrial research he joined the Brno University of Technology in 1994. He is teaching physical and colloid chemistry at the Faculty of Chemistry. His research interests include relationships between thermodynamics and kinetics, physical chemistry of biocolloids and their application, particularly polysaccharides and humic substances. In 1999 he was appointed associated and in 2009 full professor of physical chemistry. He is director of the Institute of Physical and Applied Chemistry and Materials Research Centre. He is a member of American Chemical Society, Czech Chemical Society, International Humic Substances Society, and European Colloid and Interface Society. He has authored or co-authored one book, 7 book chapters, about 60 journal articles, and more than 200 conference contributions.
