Bioinformatics and Biocomputing
Acad. year 2023/2024Full-Time 2 Years Title Awarded Ing.
Bioinformatics and biocomputing is a field that lies at the intersection of computer science and biology. You will learn to understand relevant principles of biology, for example, in the field of molecular genetics, evolutionary theory or neuroscience. However, computer science is the foundation - through it, you will learn to use and create algorithms to process, analyse and present biological data. <br> When you graduate, you'll be a specialist in bioinformatics and biology - inspired artificial intelligence. You'll be employed by biotech labs and companies working on intelligent data processing and AI applications.

Prof. Ing.
Sekanina Lukáš
Ph.D.
He lectures on Computer Systems Design (how it works and how to build a processor) and a master's course Bio-Inspired Computers. It deals with the use of biology-inspired artificial intelligence for the design and optimization of software and hardware. He leads the Evolvable hardware research group at FIT.
Doc. Ing.
Martínek Tomáš
Ph.D.
He teaches the Master's course Bioinformatics, which introduces basic methods and algorithms for analysing biological data, usually in the form of DNA molecules and proteins. It focuses on the development of new tools in genomics and proteomics.

Truck drivers have a poor view of their immediate surroundings - blind spots cover not only the area in front of and behind the truck, but also the sides. So from July 2024, European Commission regulations require trucks and buses to have safety sensors that can detect motorcyclists, cyclists or other vulnerable road users. …

FIT team helps build a unique dialect map
A team from the Faculty of Information Technology at the BUT, led by Martin Karafiát, is involved in a unique dialect mapping project. In cooperation with the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic and Palacký University in Olomouc, they are creating a website where you can select a region of the Czech Republic and listen to the dialects characteristic of a given place. …
