About me

Václav Ranc received his Ph.D. in analytical chemistry in 2009 from the Department of Analytical Chemistry, Palacky University in Olomouc, Czech Republic, under the supervision of Prof. Karel Lemr. He was then employed at the Department of Analytical Chemistry, Palacky University, Olomouc, as an assistant professor from 2008 to 2010. In 2011, he joined the team of Prof. Rainer at the Department of Medicine at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland as a research scientist. He worked there from 2011-2012. He has worked as a researcher at Palacký University since 2012.

He has authored or co-authored 85 scientific publications. His H index is 29. He is a co-author of 3 international patents. His research is directed towards developing nano-sensors using Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and synthesis of functionalized nanomaterials. He is also an expert on stain-free microscopic techniques involving AFM, Raman confocal, and Infrared microscopy.
