In Memoriam of Zdenek Herman

Zdeněk Herman       Prof. Zdenek Herman, DSc, a long term Senior Research Fellow at J.Heyrovský Institute of Physical Chemistry in Prague, passed away on Feb 25, 2021. His death is a great loss for the Czech and worldwide scientific community, losing an exceptionally respected scientist and scholar in the areas of molecular reaction dynamics, elementary collision processes, and their mechanisms, scattering of ions, cluster ions, ion-surface interactions, and many other topics he interrogated in a discipline he called Chemical Physics. From 1996 he had served as Professor of Physical Chemistry, Institute of Chemical Technology, Prague. As a visiting professor, he was active at many prestigious sites in the USA, Japan, UK, France, Germany, Austria (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zdenek_Herman). He was a recipient of the honorary doctorate (University of Innsbruck, Austria), Alexander von Humboldt Research Award (Germany), and Česká hlava (Czech Republic). His passing is a hard blow to the Czech scientific community and Czech society for mass spectrometry.
