Summary
Daniel Mazur is a physicist-turned-public servant and innovation manager who combines a PhD in Condensed Matter and Materials Physics with hands-on experience building labs, instruments and research infrastructure across Europe and the U.S. Now a Prague city councilor responsible for IT, Smart City and R&D, he translates deep technical knowledge of surface science, catalysis and laboratory systems into pragmatic municipal innovation and project leadership. His career blends academic research and teaching with project management for EU-funded infrastructure (CERIC-ERIC) and technology transfer at Charles University, plus a stint as mayor of Prague 5 that honed stakeholder and governance skills. An analytical experimentalist by training, he brings rare operational fluency in lab electronics, instrumentation setup and funding strategy to civic tech and smart-city programs.
