Karel Procházka is a Professor and Head of “Soft Matter” research group (earlier “Laboratory of Specialty Polymers”) at the Department of Physical and Macromolecular Chemistry of the Charles University in Prague. He is a member of the American Chemical Society, Czech Chemical Society and the Czech Learned Society. He has been studying the Conformational and Self-assembling Behavior of Block Copolymers and Polyelectrolytes by a number of experimental techniques, such as Light Scattering, Small Angle Neutron and X-Ray Scattering, Spectroscopy, Size-Exclusion Chromatography, Ultracentrifugation, Colorimetry and Microscopy in combination with Computer Modeling (Monte Carlo simulations, Molecular Dynamics and Self-Consistent Field Calculations). He published more than 150 original publications in recognized impacted journals. His publications are highly cited by other authors (more than 2500 citations by other authors), and contributed to the broadening of the knowledge on the Stimuli-Responsive Self-Assembling Polymer Systems.
