Research

I work at MGML, our low-temperature magnetic laboratory in Troja.

My research spans experimental condensed-matter physics, quantum materials, neutron and X-ray scattering, crystal growth, scientific instrumentation and automation.

Open science

I am an open-data maximalist and Figshare ambassador.

I lead the Physical Sciences Working Group of EOSC CZ , focusing on research data, FAIR principles and research infrastructure for the physical sciences.

Scientific technology

I am a co-founder of Charles Automata, a Charles University spin-off developing robotics and automation for scientific laboratories.

Community & teaching

I am a member of the committee of the Czech Neutron Association (CNA).

I am also teaching (in Czech only).
