Vítězslav Hrubý

Vítězslav Hrubý obtained his Master’s degree in Material Chemistry from Palacký University Olomouc in 2021 and completed his PhD in Nanomaterial Chemistry at the same institution in 2025. His early research focused on the physicochemical properties and reactivity of fluorographene, followed by the development of fluorographene-derived 2D materials as supports for single-atom catalysts. During his doctoral studies, he also carried out a research internship at the Leibniz Institute for Catalysis (LIKAT Rostock) under the supervision of Prof. Jagadeesh Rajenahally.

He is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Materials-Envi Lab at VŠB–Technical University of Ostrava, where he works under the mentorship of Prof. Jagadeesh Rajenahally. In parallel, he is also affiliated with CATRIN at Palacký University Olomouc. His research focuses on the development of single-atom catalysts for advanced organic transformations and on 2D materials for sensing applications. Additionally, he applies NMR spectroscopy, including both liquid-state and solid-state magic angle spinning techniques, to characterize molecular and low-dimensional systems.
