Five theses successfully defended

During the last fortnight, five of our colleagues successfully defended their thesis as the spring semester of 2023 slowly but surely ended.

Lenka Ptáčníková defended her master's thesis at the Faculty of Science, Masaryk University. Her thesis topic is "API for a web application Atomic Charge Calculator II". Lenka's work has greatly benefitted our research group since Atomic Charge Calculator II users requested an API to be implemented.

Jan Bříza defended his bachelor's thesis also at the Faculty of Science, Masaryk University. His thesis topic is trendy: "Comparison of machine-learning approaches for calculating partial atomic charges". Among other results, Jan's work has shown us that promoting reproducibility in science is still an ongoing task.

Amálie Švehlová defended her bachelor's thesis at the Faculty of Science, Masaryk University. Her thesis topic is "Vizualization of protein families using 2D diagrams". The crux of Amálie's work was analysing the quality of 2D diagrams that users encounter in our 2DProts database. Her findings will be used to elevate the quality of diagrams offered to users.

Tomáš Gabriš defended his bachelor's thesis at the Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk University. His thesis topic is: "bio.tools Sum application backend". It is another user-requested topic. Users and stakeholders of the ELIXIR pan-European project will use and benefit from Tomáš's results.

Dominik Tichý also defended his bachelor's thesis at the Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk University. His thesis topic is "Modern visualization of partial atomic charges in Mol*". Dominik looks forward to continuing his work to extend the possibilities of the best-in-class Mol* toolkit.

Congratulations to all five of our colleagues!
