Long words name little things.
All big things have little names,
Such as life and death, peace and war,
Or dawn, day, night, hope, love, home.
Learn to use little words in a big way.
It is hard to do, but they say what you mean.
When you don't know what you mean,
Use big words: That often fools little people.

Nov 2023 Chaos Neurathon 2023 - member of winning team I participated in the Chaos Neurathon event along with Michal Kucera and David Kunz. The task was to generate bump and rougness maps given albedo map. We placed the first. More info: @ Chaos page, @ CTU page (czech) Sep 2018 Czech & Slovak ACM chapter of the IT SPY "best IT Master thesis of the year" competition - shortlisted My Master thesis "Robust visual heart rate estimation" was shortlisted in the Czech & Slovak ACM chapter of IT SPY. IT SPY is an elite IT competition evaluating the diploma theses of university students. Every year, dozens of ambassadors look for the very best of all successfully defended diploma projects. The competition is made up of 1,900 diploma theses drawn up at the IT faculties of Czech and Slovak universities. Joint decision is then made under the auspices of the oldest professional IT organisation ACM (Czech & Slovakia Chapter) on those which will be chosen to compete in the final.

The agents are tested on a variety of levels. The team consisted of three students of the Faculty of Information Technology, CTU Prague. The agent used a meta-strategy to select a playing strategy and a local optimization techniques to play the selected move. The competition included teams from universities around the world including Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Austria, China, France, South Korea, Australia and India.

Feb 2016 - Present, Junior Research Fellow Center for Machine Perception FEL CTU An approach of visual language identification was developed under the supervision of Jan Čech and Jiří Matas and published at the SCIA 2017 conference. Currently the photoplethysmographic signal properties are inspected. Jun 2014 - Jul 2016, Junior Research Fellow Data Laboratory FIT CTU Various tasks that concerned the robotic dairy farms optimization were accomplished. The most complex one - a real-time simulation of a dairy barn using 2D barn map that modeled interactions of cows and various robots - was finished and delivered to the Lely Inovation Department as a functional product. Feb 2015 - Jul 2016, Data Scientist Trainee Lely Inovation Department A close cooperation with the Lely Inovation Department was held. The cooperation included a stay at the company's headquarters in Netherlands. During the stay, the workflow of the dairy barns data gathering and processing was taught. |

Jul 2018 - Sep 2018, Microsoft Analog.AI PhD Computer Vision internship I took a three-month internship at the Microsoft Development Center Serbia, in the Analog.AI team. My work was focused on research in a computer vision area. My mentor was Ivan Razumenic. Jul 2016 - Sep 2017, Xenofil game Producer & Lead programmer In 2016 an independent game developer studio Wonderful Tree Studio s.r.o. was found by me and a friend of mine from Charles University in Prague. In September 2017, the studio published a game "Xenofil" for mobile platforms (iOS and Android) that introduces a unique new game mechanism UN-match and through a hand drawn tale addresses issues as xenophobia, racism, and gender inequity. Press coverage (in Czech): Czech game Xenofil raises scary reactions, Czech students created a mobile game that should help to fight the xenophobia, A new Czech game that addresses the migration Jun 2014 - Aug 2014, eClub Summer Camp Participant The eClub is an organization that enables students with interests in information technology to work on various kinds of problems. The tasks are usually connected to the private sector. The result of my stay at the eClub Summer Camp 2014 was the first version of the AI Angry Birds playing agent. Jun 2007 - Jun 2008, Czech Media Group, s.r.o. Internet Applications Programmer & Graphic Layout Designer Twelve dynamic web pages with an administration environment were created with use of CSS, PHP, SQL and HTML from scratch. The administration system was created incrementally. The projects included web pages for customers as Czech Mint company, Batima company etc. The execution of the project included graphic layout design of the page, database design and CSS, PHP and HTML programming. Sep 2002 - Jun 2003, MS OFFICE 2000 interactively (in Czech) Co-Author Microsoft (MS) Office 2000 interactively is a learning software that introduces MS Word and MS Excel to a user in an interactive way. The user builds his or her skill by completing specially designed tasks in a closed learning environment. The difficulty level of the consecutive tasks increases slowly so in the end the user is capable of solving quite complex assignments. The software was created in the Flash MX with using Action Script during the second year of my high school studies under the supervision of my teachers Robert Tišer and Zdeňek Novotný. |
