The research and development activity focuses mainly on induction heating, their numerical simulations, the development of equipment for induction melting processes (of metals and metal oxides), and technological heating, especially for induction surface hardening processes, on technological designs of processes, and the implementation of experiments.

Within university workplaces, the unique cold crucible laboratory for the melting of metal oxides (ISM – Induction skull melting) is a part of the electric heat laboratories. This laboratory is used in projects aimed at studying the behavior of molten materials produced during the melting of the core of a nuclear reactor (the so-called corium), which are solved in cooperation with the Centrum výzkumu Řež (Institute of nuclear research).
