Ing. Kočí has been involved in gas sensor research since his first year of master's studies. At NANOCON 2024, he presented a poster titled "Hybrid Gas Sensor Based on dia-QCM with Ink-Jet Printed IDT Electrodes," describing a new type of hybrid sensor. This sensor combines a mass sensor with a diamond active layer dia-QCM and a conductivity sensor with printed electrodes. It was designed, manufactured, and tested in collaboration with the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences and the Austrian company PROFACTOR GmbH, where Ing. Kočí completed a long-term internship.
"Especially the development and testing of hybrid sensors is important in my opinion, as it allows for faster and more accurate air quality assessment. I hope to continue in this field even after finishing my doctoral studies," said Ing. Michal Kočí about the award.
The NANOCON conference took place in October this year. It is the first conference in the Czech Republic focused exclusively on nanomaterials, their research, applications, and impact on the environment and human health.
