Prof. Ing. Jan Bartáček, Ph.D.

Magisterské studium dokončil v roce 2002 a doktorské v roce 2006. Obojí absolvoval na Ústavu technologie vody a prostředí (VŠCHT Praha). V minulých letech působil v post-doktorantských pozicích na Wageningen University (2006 - 2008) a UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education (2008 - 2010) v Nizozemsku. Od června 2010 byl odborným asistentem na Ústavu technologie vody a prostředí (VŠCHT Praha). Od června 2015 je docentem.

Zabývá různými procesy recyklace zdrojů z odpaní vody. Jedná se o energeticky pozitivní nebo úsporné procesy (anaerobní fermentace, bioflokulace, nitritace-anammox), recyklaci šedých vod, recyklaci dusíku ve formě N₂O, popř. produkci specifických organických látek (ladderány, metanol). Od roku  Od roku 2010 se intenzivně věnuje odstraňování sulfanu z bioplynu pomocí mikroaerace, a to z pohledu technologie, detailního studia mikrobiálního společenství i s využitím matematického modelování. Dále se zabývá studiem vlivu stopových kovů (mikronutrientů) na anaerobní fermentaci v prostředí granulovaného biofilmu a transportem kovů v anaerobním biofilmu.
