Bachelor’s student of Physics at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University, preparing for the follow-up Master’s program in Nuclear and Particle Physics. At IEAP, he works in the Van der Graaff accelerator group under the supervision of Hugo Natal da Luz.

He is currently developing a reconstruction algorithm for an atypical Time Projection Chamber with an inhomogeneous magnetic field perpendicular to the electric field (Orthogonal Fields Time Projection Chamber, OFTPC). This detector will be used to measure the energy of electron–positron pairs in the X17 experiment, aimed at verifying the ATOMKI anomaly observed in the angular correlation spectrum of internal pair conversion from an excited state of beryllium–8.

In the past, he worked under the supervision of Lukáš Fajt on the search for astrophysical neutrino sources in high–background data from the Baikal–GVD telescope.
