Dr Tomas Martan
Tomas was born in 1976 in Prague, Czech Republic. He graduated from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Czech Technical University (CTU) in Prague in 2001. In this year he has begun his PhD study at the Department of Electromagnetic Field of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, CTU in Prague. After finishing this postgradual study in 2006, Tomas has defended his PhD thesis at this Faculty. At the same time since 2001 Tomas has begun working at Institute of Photonics and Electronics of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. There, at the Department of Guided-wave Photonics, Tomas has dealt with photonics as a postgradual felow and simultaneously he worked here on his PhD thesis focused on supercontinuum generation.
Tomas also in this time during three years (2001-2003) actively participated in teaching subjects concerning with optics (lessons and lectures) for MSc students at the Department of Electromagnetic Field of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the CTU. In 2003 Tomas participated as a co-author at the elaboration of the textbook on optics for MSc students. In the period 2004-2005 during his postgradual study stay at the Institute of High Frequency Technology, Aachen University of Technology (Germany) Tomas studied subjects concerning with applications of optoelectronics in medicine.
His PhD research resulted into several publications including international conference contributions (SPIE, IEEE). His own professional interest is focused on optical sensors, optoelectronics, optical fibre sensors (tapering optical fibres, photonic crystal fibres), then on fibre applicators for photodynamic treatment, and on non-linear optics (optical solitons, supercontinuum generation).
Presently Tomas is working as experienced researcher in the NASCENT Network, based at Queen Mary University of London. The aim of his work at the CiS-Institute for Micro-sensors, GmbH, Erfurt (Germany), is to develop an optical sensor based on the so-called principle MORES® (Micro–Optical REmission Sensor) with a polymer sensitive layer.
