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)
- 2015 - 2017 Master 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 29th 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.
