František Herman

František Herman is a prominent physicist known for his research in superconductivity and solid-state physics. He is currently a lecturer at the Department of Experimental Physics at the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics, and Informatics at Comenius University in Bratislava. Herman was awarded the ESET Science Award for his outstanding contributions to science under the age of 35. He emphasizes the importance of scientific literacy in the face of misinformation, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, where he noted a growing resistance to scientific facts. Herman's work focuses on understanding the behavior of materials at the atomic level, particularly how they can be manipulated to improve technological applications such as transistors and superconductors.
