Rudolf Ricka

Rudolf received MSc. degree in Chemical and Environmental Engineering at the Faculty of Materials Science and Technology, VSB-Technical University of Ostrava in 2021. In the same year, he started his Ph.D. studies and since 2022, he has been a Ph.D. candidate at the Institute of Environmental Technology, a part of Centre of Energy and Environmental Technology, VSB-Technical University of Ostrava. Currently, he is a member of the heterogeneous photocatalysis team led by prof. Kamila Kočí. His research activities are mainly focused on the detailed study of photocatalytic reactions (photocatalytic reduction of CO₂, photocatalytic decomposition of N₂O and photocatalytic hydrogen production). He is also involved in the synthesis, characterization and application of nanostructured photocatalysts. Rudolf has co-authored 1 scientific publication to date. He is a member of the research team of the bilateral CSF project No. 21-24268K “Conversion of CO₂ into useful chemicals by catalytic and photocatalytic processes in the presence of highly active materials” and of the project “Research on photocatalytically active materials suitable for photocatalytic CO₂ reduction” within the programme RRC/12/2022: Support for Science and Research in the Moravian-Silesian Region 2022.
