Due to the GDPR guidelines, the names of the respective students are not listed here, only the individual supervisors (past and present members of the Laboratory) and titles of the respective theses (along with links to them - if available - in the Charles University Digital Repository). The theses are listed according to their their defense date (in descending order). Some of them are written in Czech but all have at least an English abstract.
