Hello everybody!

(Ceskou verzi mam samozrejme taky)

Who am I?

My name is Jan, or Honza, as many Czechs would call me, I am 24 and I studied control engineering at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague. (If you click here, you can get some information about our computer science department.) If you do not know, where Prague is, here I have a nice map for you.

I am currently with Ecole Polytechnique Federale du Lausanne, Switzerland, working towards my PhD. Our group.

What do I do?

We controlled everything you might think of. The water level in a tank, ball on a beam...

I worked in a group dealing with sound processing on speech detection and noise reduction. I did my diploma thesis in this area.

At EPFL I work on 3D medical image registration by nonlinear warping. Given two images, the task is to transform one to be as close as possible to the other.

I like programming too. With other enthusiasts we took part in the Regional ACM Programming Contest and we managed to get into the World Finals which took place in March 1997 in San Jose, CA, U.S.A ! Do you want to see what sort of problems we had to solve and how it looked? ?

My favourite programs:

The best typesetting program I know is TeX.

The best operating system I know is Linux

Here are some of the programs and articles I wrote.

Other hobbies:

I like reading, listening to music (jazz, blues, swing, Beatles, Abba, some pop, country, bluegrass, folk, spirituals... but classic too, somet imes). I play piano, partly mouth harmonica and guitar, I go dancing from time to time. I am enthusiastic about white water canoeing, keen on biking, skiing. I tried snowboarding too (but it did not turn out too well). I love sailing (though I have not had the opportunity for a while), driving, taking photos, travelling etc.

Pointers and bookmarks

Final moral:

Do not worry about things you cannot influence.
