Award of the Czech Ceramic Society - The Best Master Thesis for the Year 2024 - won by Tereza Havlíková!

Promising student of FME BUT Tereza Havlíková successfully presented her master thesis: Development of ceramic filter devices for electro-insulating liquids, and was awarded with the prize of the Czech Ceramic Society for The Best Master Thesis for the year 2024.

Her research focused on evaluating the possibilities of using ceramic filters for filtering electro-insulating liquids in distribution transformers, thus replacing the paper filters with a short service life used so far.

Under the supervision of leading researchers from FME BUT and CEITEC BUTprof. Karel Maca, Lenka Novotná, Ph.D., Daniel Drdlik, Ph.D., and others – she described various methods of manufacturing dimensionally and functionally suitable porous ceramic filters and their related properties.

Tereza joins the "club" of CEITEC BUT scientists: Přemysl Šťastný, Ph.D. and Vladimír Prajzler, Ph.D. - who both won the same prestigious award in 2016 and 2017 respectively.

We are delighted that Tereza aims to continue with her studies at CEITEC BUT Advanced Materials and Nanosciences PhD Programme and also PhD Programme at the FunGlass Centre at TNUAD, Slovakia. She will be the third double-degree (cotutelle) student of the GlaCerHub joint cross-border cooperation!

Congratulations, Tereza!

We look forward to following your future scientific journey!
