David Nečas, Associate Professor, Brno University of Technology. I have been a member of the Biotribology Research Group at Brno University of Technology since 2012, when I began my PhD studies. During my doctoral research, I developed an optical method based on fluorescent microscopy to describe lubrication mechanisms in hip and knee joint replacements. After earning my PhD in 2016, I expanded my work to include cartilage superlubricity, soft tissue friction, and advanced material modifications for implants. I spent one year at Kyushu University in Japan, including seven months as a postdoctoral researcher under a JSPS grant. Recently, I was awarded a research grant from the Czech Science Foundation to develop next-generation biomedical implants by combining 3D printing and 2D nanomaterials (topic of this study).

My studies with Materials Science started at Swansea University during my undergraduate which also gave me an opportunity to work as a materials science intern at General Electric Aviation. After graduation, I worked with bulk materials within the metallurgy sector for strip steels as a process technologist for the hot strip mill and galvanized steel plants. Following on, I went to study my masters in Nanomaterials at the University of Manchester within the materials department which introduced me to the field of Thermoelectrics. Currently I am a PhD student on a split program between the University of Manchester and Agency for Science, Technology and Research in Singapore. My project involves improving the dimensionless figure of merit, zT for thermoelectrics using 2D Materials.
