Research Area & Excellence

Department focuses on issues of influencing, measurement and control of physical quantities, mainly of temperature and pressure. The domain of the workplace is applied research focused mainly on the development, design and prototype construction

of instrumentation with focus on medical and laboratory applications.

This department focuses also on the issue of the effect of pressure on technical resources and medical applications. It has available a pressure chamber in which can be experimentally studied hyperbaric oxygen therapy as well as other pathophysiological processes under circumstances of higher pressure and in various composition of environments.

Belonging to technical applications, it is possible to study the effect of (various) pressure on the instruments and equipment which size is limited by the chamber‘s inner space.
