Ondrej Ploc

Dr. Ondrej Ploc is deputy director of the project CRREAT and senior researcher at NPI in the group “Mixed radiation fields” focusing on detection and dosimetry of high energy radiation with various applications in research of new atmospheric phenomena, medicine, civil aviation, and in space. He graduated in nuclear engineering at the Czech Technical University in Prague where he also obtained his PhD in 2009. He spent two years of the postdoc fellowship in Japan, Chiba, National Institute of Radiological Sciences, and one year postdoc fellowship in Sweden, Göteborg, Chalmers University of Technology. He is convenor of ISO/TC85/SC2 WG21 Dosimetry for Exposures to Cosmic Radiation in Civilian Aircraft. He is a main project researcher of several projects focused on cosmic ray and atmospheric radiation detection and dosimetry at high-altitude observatories, aircraft, and spacecraft. He is a member of EURADOS group, involved mostly in WG11 as a leader of Task 8 (Radiation dose induced by natural electric discharge in the atmosphere) and also in WG9.
