prof. Ing. Tomáš Wágner, DrSc., head of the Center for Materials and Nanotechnology (CEMNAT)
Fields of activity: Inorganic chemistry, Chemistry of solid substances, Basic and applied research
Prof. Ing. Tomáš Wágner DrSc. in 1982 he graduated from the chemical technology of metal and special inorganic materials at the then University of Chemistry and Technology in Pardubice (VŠCHT), now the University of Pardubice, Faculty of Chemistry and Technology. He completed his doctoral studies in the field of Inorganic Chemistry with a focus on thin layers of chalcogenide glasses in 1990, and in 2001 he obtained his habilitation in the field of Chemistry and Technology of Inorganic Materials. He was appointed professor for the field of inorganic chemistry in 2005. In the years 2008-2011, prof. Wágner in the capacity of vice-dean of the Faculty of Chemistry and Technology of the University of Pardubice for external relations, in the years 2009-2011 as the director of the Materials Research Center of the University of Pardubice. He is currently the head of the Center for Materials and Nanotechnology (CEMNAT). He received the scientific title of Doctor of Chemical Sciences (DrSc.) in 2016 at the Slovak Academy of Sciences in Bratislava.
