Ing. Tomáš Zálabský, Ph.D.

I am the head of the Research center at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics and of this research team.  In addition to lecturing at the faculty, I am mainly engaged in scientific research activities. I am most interested in the area of design, synthesis, simulation and optimalization of antenna elements, arrays and fields. I also have extensive experience with the design and implementation of passive high-frequency circuits, such as planar and waveguide filters, directional taps, or power dividers. Currently, I am also actively involved in the signal processing of radio signals from various sensors or radars in order to detect, locate, identify and classify targets.

During my university career, I gained a lot of experience in solving several scientific research projects in cooperation with industrial partners from the Czech Republic and other foreign research organizations. I try to further deepen this cooperation and thus develop the research team, by constantly pushing the boundaries of knowledge of its individual members.
