On Thursday, the Rector of Masaryk University (MU), Martin Bareš, opened the new 2021/2022 academic year in the Chapter Hall of the Augustinian Abbey and Parish at the Basilica of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Old Brno. As part of this solemn ceremony, the Rector presented the Rector’s Awards for Outstanding Teachers, along with Silver and Bronze Medals for selected personalities, who have made a significant contribution to the university’s activities or contributed to its development.
We are proud that the Rector’s Award for outstanding teachers in the natural sciences was presented to Petr Liška of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, while the Rector’s Award for outstanding teachers in economics and informatics went to Jan Böhm, who works at our RECETOX centre.
Congratulations!
While Petr Liška focuses on mathematical analysis, he also teaches information technology in high school mathematics and analytical geometry. Petr’s students particularly appreciate the empathy, flexibility and human approach in his lectures, which helps them understand even the most demanding and less popular areas of mathematics.
Jan Böhm focuses on statistics, data mining, discrete deterministic models and simulation of financial models. At Masaryk University, he works at the Department of Applied Mathematics of the Faculty of Economics and Administration and at the Department of Biostatistics and Data Analysis at the RECETOX Centre. Students especially appreciate his intelligibility and the way he can clearly explain even complex calculations and situations.
