What is your field of expertise?
I am a bioinformatician, i.e. I mostly deal with computers and programming. I also know a good amount of biology because it is necessary to actually interpret the data I work with.
Why did you decide to join the project?
I enjoy interacting with students and showing them there are endless possibilities to express themselves, even in science. I think that merging two topics that may seem distant from each other, like (micro)biology and computers, is a very good way of doing it.
How was your journey to science and to work for CAS?
I started my journey studying agriculture in high school then bioinformatics at the university. After my Ph.D., I ended up doing a postdoc here in Prague because I was, and still am, interested in climate change and ecosystems.
