Research Interests: Milan Předota specializes in statistical mechanics of molecular fluids, computer simulations of solid-liquid interfaces, and electronic continuum corrections. His work bridges molecular dynamics with experimental validation in areas like mineral-water interactions, biomolecular modeling, and nonlinear optics. He has pioneered pair approximation methods for polarizable fluids and dielectric property analysis at interfaces.
Grant Leadership: He led projects such as "Theory and molecular simulation of electric double-layer at solid-liquid interface" (GAČR, 2003-2005), "Computational Study of Interactions of Organic Matter and Biomolecules with Mineral Surfaces" (GAČR, 2013-2016), and "Molecular description of phenomena in electrical double layer" (GAČR, 2017-2019). His collaborative projects include "Molecular simulations of processes at solid-liquid interfaces" (INTER-EXCELLENCE, 2017-2021).
Scientific Impact: His publications span Journal of Physical Chemistry, Molecular Physics, and Langmuir, focusing on mineral-water interactions, electrochemistry, and nanofluidics. He supervised doctoral theses on solid/liquid interfaces and biomolecule-surface interactions, with three ongoing projects as of 2022.
