Biography
Ctirad Uher is Professor of Physics at the University of Michigan. Over the past forty years, he has been involved with the thermal transport in high-Tc superconductors, layered materials, including MBE-grown metallic superlattices and Bi2Te3-based thin films, as well as in the search for new prospective thermoelectric materials within the families of modified lead tellurides, magnesium silicide solid solutions, skutterudites, and half-Heusler compounds.
