About Me

- Start at the Department of Engineering Geology of the IRSM in 2003, with a break during 2015-2016.
- Finish of the Ph.D. studies at the Department of Hydrogeology, Engineering Geology and Applied Geophysics of the Faculty of Science, Charles University in 2009.
- Geologist with interests in geodynamic hazards like the earthquakes, landslides, active tectonics and radon emanation.
- Participating on field studies at many geodynamically interesting sites: Slovakia, Slovenia, Germany, Bulgaria, Italy, Poland, Belgium, Svalbard (Norway).
- Leading of the local extensometric (EU TecNet) and radon monitoring networks in Czechia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Bulgaria.
- Author of the new extensometric prototype TM-72.
