Vitezslav Benda
Prof. Vitezslav Benda, PhD, FIET
Vitezslav Benda was born in Dvur Kralove n.L. (Czech Republic) in 1944. He graduated at MSc level in Solid State Physics at the Czech Technical University in Prague in 1967. From 1967 to 1973 he worked in the R&D department of CKD Semiconductors. Since 1973, he has been at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague, where he was awarded a doctoral degree in Electrotechnology (PhD) in 1976. Since 2001 he has been a Professor in Materials and Technology for Electrical and Electronics Engineering at the Department of Electrotechnology of CTU in Prague.
He specialises in electronic materials and devices, especially in the physics, technology and diagnostics of power semiconductor devices and in photovoltaics. In the field of photovoltaics, he gives lectures on “Solar Energy Application Systems”, “Electrochemical Sources and Photovoltaics” and “Photovoltaic Systems” at the Czech Technical University in Prague, and lectures on Photovoltaic Cells and Modules Physics and Technology at PhD course on Photovoltaics at Aalborg University. Since 2002 he also gives lectures on Photovoltaic Cells and Modules Physics and Technology in the framework of Sommer School on RES, in Patra (Greek).
He was awarded the Czechoslovak State Prize for Technology in 1980 and the Merit Award for inventors in 1989. He is author or co-author of 11 textbooks, 19 Czechoslovak patents and more than 100 papers. Prof. Benda is a Fellow of the IET, and serves as Chairman of the IET Czech Network. He is also a committee member of the Association of Innovative Entrepreneurship of Czech Republic. He has served as a member (or as chairman) of the organising or programme committee of several international conferences and as a referee for IEEE and EPE conferences and international journals and as a guest editor of special issues of international journals. Every two years (since 2002) he organises International Workshop on Teaching Photovoltaics IWTPV, oriented on present problems in teaching photovoltaics.
