Assistant Professor @ University of Birmingham
My work lies at the interface of mathematics and computer science. I study the computational complexity of constraint satisfaction problems and their approximation and promise variants using universal algebra, homotopy theory, category theory, and logic.
I was a post-doc at ISTA (2022–23) in Austria, Oxford (2021–2022) and Durham University (2018–2021) in the UK, at TU Dresden (2016–2018) in Germany, and at Jagiellonian University (2016) in Poland. I had a chance to work on two ERC grants: Standa Živný’s Starting Grant ‘PowAlgDO’ and Manuel Bodirsky’s Consolidator Grant ‘CSP-Infinity’.
I received my PhD at Charles University in Prague on 29 Feb 2016. My advisor was Libor Barto.
