Assoc. Prof. Mattia Butta, Ph.D. and Ing. Michal Janošek, Ph.D. received the Award of the Rector for an outstanding research result

On January 29th, Assoc. Prof. Mattia Butta, Ph.D. and Ing. Michal Janošek, Ph.D. received the Award of the Rector of CTU for an outstanding research result „Fluxgate magnetometr se šumem pod 1pT“.

Mattia Butta received the M.Sc. degree from the Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy, in 2005, and the Ph.D. degree from Czech Technical University in Prague, Prague, Czechia, in 2010, with a focus on magnetic sensors based on microwires. From 2010 to 2012, he was a JSPS Fellow with Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan. In 2019, he spent 12 months at the Institute of Material Science-CSIC, Madrid, Spain, working on the development of low-magnetostriction amorphous magnetic wires. He is currently an Associate Professor with the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Department of Measurement, Czech Technical University in Prague. His current research interests include low-noise magnetic sensors, mainly orthogonal fluxgate.

Michal Janosek received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from Czech Technical University in Prague, Prague, Czechia, in 2007 and 2014, respectively, all in low-noise magnetometers and gradiometer. From 2018 to 2019, he was a Post-Doctoral Fellow with the Stellenbosch University, Stellenbosch, South Africa. He is currently an Assistant Professor with the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Department of Measurement, Czech Technical University in Prague. His current research interests include low-noise magnetic sensors, gradiometers, magnetometers, and magnetic measurements.

The Rector’s Prize is awarded in four following categories:
-    For an outstanding research result
-    For practical implementation of the results of research work
-    For an outstanding doctoral dissertation
-    For a prestigious scientific publication.
