The Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of Charles University (Czech: Matematicko-fyzikální fakulta Univerzity Karlovy or Matfyz) was established on September 1, 1952, in Prague, Czech Republic.[1] Since that time, the faculty has been represented by its students and professors both at home and abroad.

Activities and achievements

Among the recent collaborations belongs a participation in the development of the Solar Wind Analyser/Proton and Alpha Sensor (SWA-PAS) onboard the

The Faculty of Arts and subsequent developing of a PC game Attentat 1942, making an AI translator called CUBBITT, which can compare to professional English human translators,[4] establishing of the Malach Center for Visual History[5][6] or the collaborating on a project dealing with AI system called DeepStack,[7] which defeated professional poker players in 2016.[8]

Moreover, The Faculty of Mathematics and Physics is a birthplace of

Švandovo divadlo and DAMU worked on the first theatre play written by AI, which had its premiere on the February 26, 2021.[10]

The faculty produces approximately 25% of all research outputs of Charles University.[11]

Alumni/Graduates

Notable graduates of Matfyz are for example astronomer

55844 Bičák was named after him. Further, Martin Klíma,[12] a co-founder of a video-game developer Warhorse Studios known for a game Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Alice Valkárová, a former student and current professor of physics at Matfyz, was appointed as a member of the European Research Council (ERC) in 2021.[13] Miloslav Feistauer, who is currently teaching at Matfyz as well, is a member of Learned Society of the Czech Republic uniting significant Czech scientists.[14]
