Institute of Physics and Biophysics

Institute of Physics and Biophysics

Who are we?

The institute was founded with the establishment of the Faculty of Science, which builds on traditional studies of biophysics of the former Faculty of Biology and expands the range of other physically based fields.

What do we do and for whom?

We provide training in accredited bachelor's and master's programs.

The department staff are responsible for dealing with GA CR and ME grants, they collaborate with other universities (UJEP, UK), ASCR institutes (ICHP, AI) and foreign partners (Germany, USA, Sweden).

The main directions of research activities are:

  • biophysics of photosynthesis (natural and artificial), molecular spectroscopy

  • experimental physics of low-temperature plasma, deposition of thin and nanostructured surfaces

  • electronics, signal processing, audio-visual equipment

  • computer modeling (liquids, surfaces, biomolecules, plasma, atmosphere)

  • astronomy and astrophysics, plasma astrophysics, solar physics - particle, hybrid and MHD computer simulation

  • modeling of the atmosphere and climate, physical parameterization of climate models.

Why do we exist?

The Institute guarantees the bachelor study of physics, physics education, biophysics and measuring and computing and the master’s study of biophysics and teaching of physics for secondary schools.

What are our aims?

Our goal is to ensure educational and scientific development in the areas of experimental biophysics (optical laboratory), plasma physics, surfaces and thin layers (experimentally and theoretically), computer modeling and applied electrical engineering (measuring and control technology, audiovisual equipment).

In the field of applied physics and electrical engineering we strive for closer cooperation with the manufacturing sector. This effort is included in the forthcoming master program applied measuring and computing.

Completed projects

The project supported from the Operational programme Research and Development for Innovations whose aim is the setting and opening the Centre of Transfer of Technologies with two mutually co-operating departments on the side of the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice and on the side of the Biological Centre of The Czech Academy of Sciences.

Bridge4Innovation is a project of The University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice, the South Bohemian Agency for Support of the Innovative Business and the Biological Centre of The Czech Academy of Sciences financed from the European Social Fund of the European Union.
