Research

Scientific background:

Inorganic technology and materials
Glass Science Technology
Basic, advanced and applied research in field of glass and ceramics

The main research interests are glass properties, mainly in connection with the glass science and technology and cooperation with the glass industry in the following main research topics: optimalization and energy efficient glass melting and finning process, energy savings by reduction of heat losses and waste heat recovery, glass melting with low emissions, corrosion of refractories and also preparation of new materials from waste glass such as glass and glass-ceramic foams, solid, hollow and porous glass and glass-ceramic microspheres for various application and preparation of glass-ceramic materials based on YAG by hot press technique.
