At FEE CTU, David Vávra completed the Software Technologies and Management programme, followed by Open Informatics with a specialization in Software Engineering. After graduation, he worked for companies such as Google, Avast, and Škoda Auto. However, his greatest success is Settle Up – an app for managing group expenses, which he started developing while still a student at FEE CTU. The app is popular not only in the Czech Republic but also in Spain, Italy, and several other European countries, with nearly one million monthly active users worldwide. In this interview, David Vávra reflects not only on his studies and the birth of the app but also on the challenges he faced during its development.

A team of robotics engineers from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the Czech Technical University in Prague, together with E.ON Group Innovation and the distribution company EG.D, has successfully tested HIVE technology for autonomous inspection of power lines using cooperating drones. During a demonstration test near Horní Cerekev, the team conducted a complete inspection of a five- to six-kilometer-long section of power lines with 100% success and demonstrated up to 150% higher efficiency compared to traditional operations with individual drones.

On Wednesday, November 12, 2025, at 1:00 PM, Assoc. Prof. Ing. Tomáš Haniš, Ph.D., a candidate for the position of professor in the field of Cybernetics and Robotics, will give a lecture on the topic: "Advanced Vehicle Control Architecture". The lecture will take place in lecture hall T2:D3-209 (2nd floor) in front of the Scientific Council of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague.

While still a bachelor’s student at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU FEE), Jan Komeda became the first author of a research paper published in the prestigious international journal Applied Surface Science Advances (Elsevier, Q1). The study brings new insights into the use of boron-doped graphene for glucose detection and advances the development of highly sensitive sensors for non-invasive blood sugar monitoring. These future sensors also hold potential for detecting cancer biomarkers and monitoring metabolites in biological samples.

FEE CTU organizes the CTU Open 25 on November 7 and 8, 2025 as the Czech-Slovak round of the International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) competition.

On November 6, 2025, the Czech Technical University in Prague will host a public workshop entitled "New Directions in Electronics for Industry 4.0 and Medicine 4.0," which brings together leading researchers and industry partners in the fields of sensors, optical fibers, microwave photonics, and new communication networks. The event is organized by the FEIM National Competence Center – Future Electronics for Industry 4.0 and Medical 4.0.

There are approximately 574 biogas stations operating in the Czech Republic. Most of the biogas produced by these stations is used to generate electricity. In order for Czechia to fulfill the Action Plan to Support the Development of Biomethane Use, roughly half of these biogas stations are to be converted into biomethane stations.

Taiwan, whose semiconductor industry is one of the most efficient in the world, is becoming an increasingly important partner for Czech universities and research institutions. CTU was represented at this year's Semicon Taiwan 2025 trade fair and in a series of meetings with Taiwanese universities, which confirmed new research and educational opportunities. The result is expanding contacts in the field of chip design, photonics, laser and AI technologies – as well as new opportunities for students who want to complete part of their studies in Taiwan.

"CTU gave me a high-quality professional education and also taught me to work under pressure, process huge amounts of information and set priorities," says Jan Šefránek, who has been head of the Energy Regulatory Office since January 2025. A graduate of the master's and doctoral programmes in electrical power engineering at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague, who has played a significant role in the transformation of the Czech energy sector, recalls his teachers and classmates in an interview and describes why working for the state is not only a professional challenge for him, but also a personal mission.

Expensive lithium-ion batteries from electric cars often end up in the trash before they need to. PhD student Kateřina Nováková from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at CTU has developed a diagnostic method that can more accurately estimate their actual condition and extend their life by up to 10%. Together with the company Kolibrik, she received a grant of CZK 16 million to implement the solution in practice.

Two graduates of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering (FEE) received awards for their research and academic achievements at the #CZECHoftheFuture conference, held at the Czech Institute of Informatics, Robotics and Cybernetics (CIIRC CTU). The TECH Talent of the Czech Republic 2025 award went to Ing. Jan Ševic, a graduate of the Open Informatics program at CTU FEE. The TOP student of the Czech Republic 2025 title was awarded to Ing. Kamila Houšková, also a graduate of Open Informatics.
