prof. Ing. Tomáš Wágner, DrSc.

Prof. Ing. Tomáš Wágner DrSc. graduated in 1982 in the field of chemical technology of metallic and special inorganic materials at the then University of Chemical Technology in Pardubice, now the University of Pardubice, Faculty of Chemical Technology. He completed his doctoral studies in the field of Inorganic Chemistry with a focus on thin films of chalcogenide glasses in 1990 and habilitated in 2001 in the field of Chemistry and Technology of Inorganic Materials. He was appointed Professor of Inorganic Chemistry in 2005. In 2008-2011, prof. Wágner served as Vice Dean for External Relations of the Faculty of Chemical Technology, University of Pardubice and in 2009-2011 as Director of the Centre of Materials Research at the University of Pardubice. He currently holds the position of Head of the Centre of Materials and Nanotechnologies (CEMNAT). He received the degree Doctor of Chemical Sciences (DrSc.) in 2016 at the Slovak Academy of Sciences in Bratislava.
