I’m specializing in the history of science, technology, and media in the second half of the twentieth century. I work as research fellow at the Charles University in Prague and as lecturer at the University of Lausanne. Explore my ongoing research projects ⇗ here.

My publications address a broad range of subjects, from the history of computing and scientific modeling to particle physics, radioisotope training, and thermonuclear fusion. My work has received two early-career scholar awards, recognizing contributions to the history of education and the history of physics. Browse my written work ⇗ here.

Alongside my research, I’m committed to developing innovative approaches to skills training. Read about my teaching philosophy ⇗ here.
