Dr. Martin Drobek obtained his MSc. degree in 2004 at University of Chemistry and Technology (UCT) in Prague, Czech Republic, graduating in the field of stereoselective hydrogenation on chiral complexes applied in homogeneous phases or heterogenized in various inorganic matrixes. In 2008, he was awarded a doctorate degree in chemistry and chemical technology at the UCT in Prague and the Research Centre of Organic Syntheses in Pardubice, Czech Republic. After his Ph.D. studies, Drobek obtained a post-doctoral research position at the Institut Européen des Membranes (IEM-Montpellier, France) to work on numerous subjects in the field of membrane science, including ceramic or mixed-matrix-membrane synthesis, as well as their surface modification for oil/water separation, the ultrafiltration of seawater, VOC capture, and gas separation and pervaporation. In 2013, he was appointed as a permanent research scientist at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) France, and in 2022, he obtained his habilitation at the University of Montpellier. His principal research activities cover a large variety of ceramic, composite and hybrid membrane materials, including amorphous metal oxides, non-oxides, carbons, perovskites, zeolites, metals and polymers. His current research is mainly focused on the development of MOF-based membrane materials for gas separation and detection.
