“I regard this award as a significant international confirmation of research excellence in the field of rheology and processing of polymer materials. I would like to thank my family, former Ph.D. students, colleagues, mentors and TBU in Zlín for their support and cooperation,” said Prof. Zatloukal.
Prof. Zatloukal has already been awarded a scientific award for his research several times. In addition to the Czech awards, he is a holder of the ExxonMobil Chemical European Science & Engineering Award (2007), SPE Fellow Award (2013), Chemical Engineering Science Top Cited Papers (2014) and others. His professional qualities are also evidenced by the fact that in 2007 he became the youngest professor in the Czech Republic (at the age of 32).
