Biography
I have started my specialization at the
school of electrical engineering, where I quickly figured out, that this field is not for me. I
continued at the University of Pardubice, where I chose information technology instead. The focus on
software was much better fit and I have completed BSc, MSc and PhD.
I enjoyed programming, but computer networking even more - I have become
fascinated with
Cisco Networking Academy
and completed all CCNA and CCNP courses (some of them during one-year exchange at
Northumbria University where I studied Computer Networks MSc). Later, I have got Cisco certified and become Cisco Networking Academy instructor. 
During my PhD studies, I have integrated skills from programming and
computer networks in pursuing software-defined networking (SDN). I learned
the technology at
Lancaster University
during my several internships. This helped me to finish my
thesis and to continue in research focused on applicability in various areas
including smart grid and IoT networks. After spending two years at the Research Center of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics, where I was working on various research projects and was teaching the course Modern Trends of Computer Networks; I have accepted a postdoc position at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, where I am currently working on the research in the area of smartgrids network security.
