Prof. RNDr. Kristián Mathis, Ph.D., DrSc. serves as Associate Professor and Head of the Department of Physics of Materials at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University in Prague. His academic career spans over two decades with significant contributions to materials science, particularly in magnesium alloys and deformation mechanics.
His educational background includes dual PhDs (2003 from Charles University and 2004 from Eötvös Loránd University), Habilitation (2013), and Doctor of Science degree (2017) from Slovak University of Technology. His international experience includes research positions in Netherlands, France, South Korea, and Hungary.
Mathis specializes in mechanical properties of magnesium alloys and composites, employing in-situ measurement techniques including acoustic emission, neutron and X-ray diffraction. His research bridges experimental characterization with theoretical modeling of deformation behavior in metallic materials. His work has significant applications in transportation industry materials development.
He has supervised 5 Bachelor, 5 Master, and 3 PhD students to completion, with his doctoral graduates securing research positions at institutions like Paul Scherrer Institute and Slovak Academy of Sciences. His teaching portfolio includes advanced courses on Physics of Materials, New Materials and Technologies, Physical Acoustics, and Continuum Mechanics.
- Light Metals Division JOM Best Paper Award (2017)
- Best Lecturer Award in Physics Exercises (2017)
- Award for Junior Hungarian Researcher Abroad (2011)
Mathis has secured multiple competitive grants including ERC project FRAMED (2017-2021) as Co-investigator, GAČR projects as Principal Investigator, and international collaborations with Hungarian Academy of Sciences and Russian Ministry of Education. He has organized major international conferences including the 10th International Conference on Mechanical Stress Evaluation by Neutron and Synchrotron Radiation. His industrial collaborations have resulted in three utility models for magnesium alloys and casting technologies developed with Alucast Ltd.
