Advance Technologies Research Institute (ATRI) was established in 2013 as a new build institute of The Faculty of Materials Science and Technology in Trnava, Slovak University of technology in Bratislava.
ATRI is the first and main institute at the University Science Park (Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava), having an interdisciplinary team of researchers, engineers, PhD candidates and junior researchers. ATRI is focused on materials engineering applying ion and plasma technologies, solid state physics, astrophysics, computational chemistry, automation and ICT implementation in industrial processes, mathematical modelling and simulation. The area of materials research ranges from theoretical modelling using ab-initio methods at the atomic and molecular scale, DFT methods for bulk materials and surfaces, to experimental work using accelerators and plasma based technologies. R&D in the field of Automation and ICT aims at hardware and software development, knowledge-based systems, process- and high level automation, data processing and security systems.
