Jaroslav Heyrovský byl vynálezce a chemik, kterému se přisuzuje vynález polarografických a elektroanalytických metod.

Většina jeho práce byla na poli polarografie.

V roce 1959 obdržel Nobelovu cenu za „jeho objev a rozpracování analytické polarografické metody“

Narodil se v roce 1890 v Praze jako syn profesora římského práva.

V roce 1909 začal na Karlově univerzitě v Praze studovat chemii, matematiku a fyziku.

Poté odešel na University College do Londýna, kde studoval v letech 1910 až 1914.

Během první světové války pracoval jako lékárenský chemik a na rentgenovém oddělení vojenské nemocnice.

Během války pokračoval ve studiích a v roce 1918 získal Ph.D. a v roce 1921 doktorát.

Začal pracovat pro profesora B. Braunera v Ústavu analytické chemie Univerzity Karlovy.

V roce 1922 byl povýšen na docenta a poté se stal v roce 1926 prvním institučním profesorem fyzikální chemie.

V roce 1922 vynalezl polarografickou metodu a poté se po zbytek svých vědeckých studií soustředil na rozvoj elektrochemie, což bylo nové odvětví.

Na své univerzitě vybudoval školu polarografie a pokračoval v jejím výzkumu.

V roce 1950 byl jmenován ředitelem nového Polarografického ústavu.

O dva roky později se tento ústav stal součástí Československé akademie věd.

During the war he continued to study and earned his Ph.D. in 1918 and his Doctorate in 1921.

He started working under Professor B. Brauner at the Institute of Analytical Chemistry at Charles University.

In 1922 he was promoted to Associate Professor, and then in 1926 he became the institute’s first Physical Chemistry Professor.

He invented the polarographic method in 1922 and then focused the rest of his scientific studies on developing electrochemistry, which was a new branch.

He built a school of polarographers at his university and led continued research into polarography.

In 1950 he was appointed to be the new Polarographic Institute’s director.

Two years later the institute became part of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences.
