At the Department, he would like to strengthen the level of communication between disciplines, as well as between academics and students. You can read more about this mathematician, whose main scientific interest is equations, in the summary below.
*23. 3. 1982
P. Hasil is a graduate of Masaryk University’s (MU) Faculty of Science. As he was in one of the first years when the five-year Master’s degree was changed to the 3+2 model, he first defended his thesis in the Bachelor’s Mathematics programme (2004), then in the Master’s Mathematical Analysis programme (2006) and finally in the Mathematical Analysis Doctoral programme (2010) under Prof. Ondřej Došlý. He started working at MU before his Doctoral graduation and spent one semester teaching (and researching) at the University of Ulm, Germany.
P. Hasil returned to our faculty in the role of Assistant Professor in 2013, and in 2017 was appointed Associate Professor. He was appointed Head of the Mathematical Analysis Team in 2019. At the same time, he was appointed a senator and a member of the Economic Committee of the Faculty Senate for two terms (2017−2023). By taking over the leadership of the department, he joined a line of prominent academics, the last two directors being Prof. Jiří Rosický (2007−2015) and Prof. Jan Slovák (2015−2023).
As Head of the Department, P. Hasil would like to strengthen the already recognised importance of Brno mathematics on a global scale, while at the departmental level, he would like to strengthen communication between both individual disciplines and academics and students. Last, but not least, he would like to confirm the Department’s position as an expert workplace for pure and applied mathematics, not only within the university but also outside its walls.
In his teaching work, P. Hasil is dedicated not only to his professional subjects but also to teaching in other disciplines, both within the faculty and outside. He considers the teaching of mathematics in other disciplines to be a great challenge, whether the students are physicists, who generally already have a very good understanding of mathematics, or in disciplines where the students are rather taken aback by the mathematics course. Being able to explain the secrets and meaning of mathematics to anyone is considered the highest goal, a journey that can take a lifetime.
P. Hasil is a long-term member of the International Society of Differential Equations; indeed, his main scientific interest is exactly that, equations, not just differential with discrete time but also differential with continuous time and dynamic equations on hybrid time scales. He is the author or co-author of more than fifty scientific works, including completely new findings in linear equations that may have enormous application potential. Among other things, he has succeeded in identifying the critical oscillation constant for Euler-type differential equations with non-constant coefficients, which had previously remained unsolved for half a century. Many groups of mathematicians around the world are devoted to these topics, so a certain air of competition is one of the driving forces behind the rapid development in such fields. P. Hasil is most pleased with the proofs he has obtained for very general equations (e.g. semi-linear), which also contain properties of simple equations that were previously unknown. He considers the fact that these results are now used by other researchers around the world to be the icing on the cake, and he regularly chats with these researchers about new uses of the results either online, in person at conferences, while on foreign internships or when they are invited as guests of the faculty.
J. Cempírek wants to maintain a friendly working environment at the department, in an atmosphere of mutual respect. You can read more about this geologist, whose research is closely related to deposits of technologically key elements, in the summary below.
In his new role, V. Bryja plans to further improve communication and infrastructure sharing across the biomedical sciences on campus. You can read more about this biologist, whose research includes cell signalling, in the summary below.
