Since 2025, I am an assistant professor at the Department of Optics, Palacký University Olomouc, Czechia. My small team and I work on the theory of superconducting quantum devices, their hybridization with other systems (especially mechanical and optical), and the applications of such devices in quantum technologies.
From 2019 to 2024, I was a senior postdoctoral researcher in the group of Radim Filip at the Department of Optics. I worked on a range of topics including quantum optomechanics with levitated nanoparticles and quantum optics in superconducting quantum circuits.
Between 2017 and 2019, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Claudiu Genesat the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light in Erlangen, Germany. I worked on hybrid optomechanics with mechanical oscillators functionalized with ensembles of two-level systems.
From 2013 to 2017, I did my Ph.D. studies in theoretical physics in the group of Klemens Hammerer at the Institute for Theoretical Physics, Leibniz University Hannover, Germany. I worked on quantum optomechanics (a subfield of quantum physics dealing with interactions of light with mechanical oscillators), in particular its use for frequency conversion between microwave and optical fields.
Between the years 2008 and 2013, I did my bachelors and masters in Optics and Optoelectronics at the Palacký University Olomouc, focusing on quantum optics and quantum information. I spent the academic year 2011-2012 as an exchange student at Umeå University in Sweden.
