PhD student Lukáš Vrána received an honorable mention for his research on new protective materials

PhD student Lukáš Vrána from the Department of Plasma Physics and Technology received an honorable mention in the prestigious competition for the Milan Odehnal Prize 2026. He received the award for his experimental and theoretical study of high-entropy nitride coatings. The unique materials he is researching could have a wide range of applications in the future. “They could serve as a protective thin film and potentially even be used in space,” says the young physicist. He believes it is important not to be afraid to present one’s research to the scientific community and views the award as valuable feedback.
