About the Author
Jaroslav Kuba received his MSc in physical electronics at the Czech Technical University in Prague, in the Department of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering. Thanks to a French government scholarship, he then completed his doctorate (Ph. D.) at the Université de Paris XI, France. He specialized in physics of plasmas and lasers and submitted a thesis in the field of transient x-ray lasers generated in plasma. Following his Ph. D. graduation, Dr. Kuba worked at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, USA. In 2005, he accepted a Czech government scholarship dedicated to having Czech citizens at highly specialized prestigious scientific positions abroad return home and help strengthen Czech academia. In 2006, Dr. Kuba was appointed vice-president of the Czech Technical University in Prague, the largest technical university in the Czech Republic and the oldest one in Europe, and an associate professor at the Department of Biomedical Engineering. Later on, he served as deputy-minister for Education in the Czech government, responsible for EU funds, where he signed, for example, the multibillion funding for the most powerful laser in the world (ELI facility near Prague). Dr. Kuba has taught biomedical students for more than ten years, as well as students from other departments, in a number of physics and biophysics courses.
