Prof. Dr. Katarina Čufar received the Zois Prize for important achievements and the Golden Plaque of the University of Ljubljana

Abstract

Prof. dr. Katarina Čufar je konec leta 2020 prejela dve prestižni priznanji: Zoisovo priznanje za pomembne znanstvenoraziskovalne dosežke za razvoj dendrokronologije in znanosti o lesu in Zlato plaketo Univerze v Ljubljani za izjemne znanstvenoraziskovalne dosežke, za zgledno pedagoško delo ter za zasluge pri krepitvi ugleda univerze.
 Kratko predstavljamo nagrajenko in njeno raziskovalno delo.

Use of the Lagrange interpolation polynomial to estimate the bending strength value of plywood

“…Due to their low weight in relation to the carrying capacity, they are particularly interesting in the fields of aircraft construction, shipbuilding and automotive. [2] All building materials have mechanical, physical, acoustic, thermal, aesthetic, ecological, and other vital attributes that greatly influence their location and technique of application. In Europe, all wood-based panels used in building must meet the standard BAS EN 13 986 (Wood-based panels for use in construction -Characteristics, conformity evaluation, and labeling).…”

Katarini Čufar podelili naziv zaslužna profesorica

“…Uvedla je dendrokronološke raziskave v Sloveniji ter s sodelavkami in sodelavci opravila sistematično dolgoletno raziskovalno delo, posvečeno lesu v kulturni dediščini in arheologiji, z odmevnimi raziskavami prazgodovinskih kolišč na Ljubljanskem barju in natančnem datiranju in proučevanju aktivnosti na šestnajstih koliščih (Čufar et al, 2022b). Pri raziskovalnem delu je skupaj z raziskovalno skupino Katedre za tehnologijo lesa (slika 5), ki jo je vodila več kot dvajset let, izrazito vpeta v mednarodno in interdisciplinarno sodelovanje (Šernek & Petrič, 2020;Petrič & Šernek, 2021;Matjašec et al, 2022). Oblak, L., Šernek, M., & Merela, M.: Katarini Čufar podelili naziv zaslužna profesorica tujini.…”

“…V letu 2020 je prejela državno nagrado Zoisovo priznanje za pomembne znanstvenoraziskovalne dosežke za razvoj dendrokronologije in znanosti o lesu, ki ji ga je podelil Odbor Republike Slovenije za podelitev nagrad in priznanj za izjemne dosežke v znanstvenoraziskovalni in razvojni dejavnosti (Šernek & Petrič, 2020).…”

“…She introduced dendrochronological research in Slovenia and, together with her colleagues, carried out a systematic long-term research work on wood in cultural heritage and archaeology, with a focus on prehistoric pile dwellings in the Ljubljana Marshes, especially dating the activities at 16 pile dwellings from the distant past (Velušček et al, 2022). In her research she has been strongly involved in international and interdisciplinary cooperation (Šernek & Petrič, 2020;Petrič & Šernek, 2021;Matjašec et al, 2022), together with the research group of the Chair of Wood Technology, which she has led for over 20 years (Figures 4,5).…”

“…In 2020, Čufar received the national Zois Award for significant scientific research achievements for the development of dendrochronology and wood science (Šernek & Petrič, 2020;Vrhunci slovenske znanosti, 2021). Furthermore, she has been awarded the prestigious Jesenko Lifetime Achievement Award (2021) (Petrič & Šernek, 2021;Matjašec et al, 2022: Jesenkova nagrajenka, 2023, the Golden Plaque of the University of Ljubljana (2020), and the Honorary Award of the Faculty of Forestry and Wood Technology of Mendel University in Brno, Czech Republic (Drolc, 2019).…”
