On the pilot Slovak round of the\u00a0Falling Labs competition for young researchers and innovators, which was organised on September 29, 2017 as an event of the Researchers\u2019 Night 2017 our university achieved a significant success. From the 56 applicants from 10 countries 18 young researchers had the possibility to present their breakthrough ideas and results and to acquire a direct ticket to the prestigious world final in Berlin in November 2017. The significance of the competition is underlined by the fact that the management of the event was taken over by the Deputy Prime Minister of the Slovak Republic for Investments and Informatization Peter Pellegrini.<\/p>\n
Three representatives of the Pavol Jozef \u0160af\u00e1rik University presented their solutions in a challenging three-minute presentation in a fierce competition. The winner of the competition was Stanislav Hriv\u0148\u00e1k \u2013 a third-year PhD student of Biophysics with his solution of X-ray propagators for the coherent microtomography of small organisms<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI had two irons in the fire \u2013 both of them had a high probability to win. We could see many good ideas in the presentations of the best Slovak students. I was very pleased with Stano\u2019s success in this excellent competition. The jury consisted of the top scientists of Slovakia, who appreciated Stano\u2019s contribution to improve the display of the Bragg’s magnifier and his level of presentation in a very short time as well. Stano\u2019s results significantly help our work in the field of X-ray imaging, and I’m convinced that they will be recognized in the Berlin finals as well\u201d, said doc. Uli\u010dn\u00fd, the happy supervisor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
