Aleš Růžička

Aleš Růžička is employed at the Department of General and Inorganic Chemistry, Faculty of Chemical Technology, University of Pardubice. From the beginning of his studies, Prof. J. Holečka (since 1993). He has been employed as a researcher since 1999. In 2001, he received his Ph.D. and began an independent scientific career. He is the author or co-author of more than 350 articles in professional journals, three chapters in books and three patents. He has given more than 50 lectures at international and domestic conferences.

As part of his pedagogical duties, he teaches lectures on aspects of organometallic chemistry, advanced inorganic chemistry, NMR spectroscopy and crystallography.

In 2003 he completed a postdoctoral internship within the Royal Society / NATO fellowship with Prof. Michael F. Lappert at Sussex University in Brighton, UK. In the following years he made short-term stays and lectured at foreign universities (Dijon, Zaragoza, Brussels, Saitama, Zurich, Chemnitz, Graz, and KIT Karlsruhe).

The main scientific interest is the chemistry of metal compounds, especially the main groups with metal atoms in non-traditional oxidation states.
