2024-12-17 | Professor Babuška Prize

Our graduate Ivana Řeřuchová won the Professor Babuška Prize for her diploma thesis, which is awarded in the field of computer science. Her master thesis concerned modelling the interaction between oscillating vocal folds and fluid flow. Congratulations! The ceremony took place at the Institute of Thermomechanics of the CAS, where she and her supervisor Petr Hájek also visited the voice research laboratory. The award was also presented to Petra Helešicová, who was unable to attend the ceremony.

2023-06-25 | 3D Model of a Vascular Malformation

Malformation – this is a congenital vascular disease. A cluster of blood vessels and tissues forms under the skin, which can resemble a large tumor. Doctors at the University Hospital Brno can now use life-size 3D models created in our laboratory during operations. Watch the TV show here (in Czech).
