Main Research Interests

My main interest is text simplification, especially:

• Lexical simplification
• Explanation generation
• Readability and understandability, particularly measuring understandability
• Adapting text for specific target groups (hearing-impaired, mentally disabled, dyslexic, autistic)

I am also interested in language acquisition, user experience and data structures.

Curriculum Vitae

Selected education

• since 2017, pursuing Ph.D. degree in Mathematical Linguistics (MFF UK)

Other

I organize Czech Olympiad in informatics (called Mathematical olympiad, category P), I occasionally help with Central European Olympiad in Informatics too.

Personal

I was born on 29^th January 1992.
I am married. We have a GSD puppy (born Apr 2017) and a wonderful daughter Linda (born Apr 2018). I hope we are not finished yet :)

My hobbies include mathematical linguistics of course :), hiking, gardening, playing the guitar, proof-reading, organizing events and chatting.

Teaching

I don't teach any formal course. (Honestly, fleeing from a classroom with a crying baby is easier as a student than as the teacher.)

However, feel free to ask for a consultation regarding text simplification, user experience, git or social ethics.
