معرفی
Prof. RNDr. Marek Procházka, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor at the Institute of Physics, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University, Prague. His research focuses on Resonance Raman Scattering (RRS) and Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) spectroscopy, particularly in silver colloidal systems and their applications to porphyrins and nucleic acids. He holds a current email at marek.prochazka@matfyz.cuni.cz and prochaz@karlov.mff.cuni.cz, with a lab located at Room F 267, Ke Karlovu 5, Prague 2.
- Education:
- Ph.D. in Biophysics (1994-1997), Czech-French cotutelle, University Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris VI) and Charles University.
- Mgr. in Physics (1989-1994), Charles University, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics.
His research spans metal nanoparticle interactions, plasmonics, and biomolecular sensing. Recent work emphasizes recyclable SERS platforms and non-plasmonic metal oxides for enhanced Raman spectroscopy. Publications from 2019-2025 highlight nanoparticle film fabrication, optical response optimization, and analytical applications in contaminants and biomedical diagnostics.

- B. Bolzano Award (1997)
- Young Investigator Award (2000)
- Marie Curie Individual Fellowship (2001-2002)
Procházka has supervised students including David Novák (current Mgr.) and former Ph.D. candidates like Vlastimil Peksa and Martin Šubr. His grants include projects on hybrid metal/semiconductor nanostructures (GACR 25-14402L) and advanced SERS substrates (GACR P205/13/20110S). Collaborations span Jagiellonian University, Eberhard Karls University Tübingen, and international institutions.
