Curriculum vitae

Born in 1941 at Peretchin, Ukraine, in farmer's family of ukraininan nationality. In 1947, family moved to Czechoslovakia and I attended the school until 1958, when I graduated on Eleven Year High School. Then I started to study on the Faculty of technical and nuclear physics of Czech Techniccal University in Prague. In 1963, I finished the studies and obtained the diploma ing. of technical physics, specialisation nuclear and physical chemistry. In 1969, I received CSc-degree on Faculty of Science, Charles University, Prague.

In 1963-65, I was employed at The Research Institute for Radio and Telecommunications, Prague, as research chemist- analyst. There I developed several analytical methods for the analysis of semiconductory materials, e.g. gallium arsenide. The methods were based on spectrophotometry of extractable metal chelates.

In 1965-75, I was employed at Lachema,N.C., Kaznejov, district Pilsen North. Initially, I was engaged in the development of analytical methods for the determination of trace impurities in semiconductory grade germanium. The methods were again based mainly on spectrophotometry. Later on, I developed the analytical methods for the determination of traces of impurities in pure nickel and cobalt salts and in TV-luminophores. The methods emplyed extraction of metal chelates, spectrophotometry, ion exchange and thin-layer chromatography. Even later, I developed analytical methods for the research of the citric acid production from molasses. For the purpose, I used (among other methods) ion selective electrodes then becoming popular.

In 1975-78, at Nuclear Research Institute , üe§ near Prague, I studied the spiking of Bengal Red by 131I first, then I participated on the development of 113Sn-113mIn sorption type generator for medical use.

In 1979-84, at Institute of Nuclear Biology and Radiochemistry of Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences, I investigated experimentally and theoretically the reaction kinetics of palladium catalysed hydrogenative dehalogenation of model organic compounds, using electrochemical methods.

In 1985-90, I was employed at The Research Institute for Metals, Panensk‚ Býe§any, near Prague. My task there was the development of the facility and of the technology for the carbothermic production of ferrovanadium low in carbon. During the solution of this research task I developed laboratory scale plasma reactor using graphite plasmatrons. Then, I harnessed this facility also for the development of technology of production of vanadium nitride. The knowledges so obtained I then used in the construction of medium-scale (100 kVA) plasma reactor for the production of CuCr10 alloy. In connection with the development of metallurgical technologies, I became familiar with the methods of numerical mathematics, especially those of optimalisation techniques, with the algorhytmisation and programming. I developed a set of programs for thermodynamic calculations of equilibria of complex heterogeneous chemical systems.

From November, 1990, I was employed at Czech Geological Survey, Prague, working as analyst on atomic emission spectrometer with inductively coupled plasma source.

Being unsatisfied by the service kind of the work there required, I changed my employerin October, 1993. At present, I am working at The Institute of Chemical Process Fundamentals of Academy of Sciences of Czech Republic, Prague. There I am the member of the group studying the transient phenomena during the adsorption and reaction on catalysts. More details are given under Recent Activities.

My special skills worth mention are the use of PC, english, russian and partly german language.

I am married and I have two daughters.
