The Chemistry of CO2 and TiO2

Svatopluk Civis pursued his doctoral studies (CSc.) at Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic. In 2010 he became a professor of experimental physics at the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering at the Czech Technical University in Prague. For over 15 years, he was the head of the Department of Chemical Physics and the Department of Spectroscopy at the J. Heyrovský Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Czech Academy of Sciences, v.v.i. His research focuses on the application of spectroscopy in different fields of physics and chemistry. Svatopluk Civis is the author of more than 170 papers with over 1700 citations and a frequent speaker (over 50 invited talks) at international conferences.
