  Everything is both simpler
than we can imagine,
and more complicated
that we can conceive.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe


Currently

working on analysis of complex networks including structural properties of graphs, studies of processes on networks or even application of statistical and AI methods to analysis of real-world networking problems. Most of my activities revolve around my work group, which is part of the COBRA research group at Institute of Computer Science of Academy of the Czech Republic (CAS).

Some of my research is also connected with collaboration with at Computer Science Institute (IUUK) and Department of Applied athematics (KAM), particularly topics around algebraic properties of graphs including theory of symmetric relational structures, e.g. graphs possesing ultrahomogeneous or homomorphism-homogenous property. I'm also part of the Interval Methods Group working there on problems of interval optimization and linear algebra.

My research is also focused on problems of utilization of complex network for analysis and characterization of real-world dynamic systems including human brain, the Earth's climate system, financial systems such as stock market or cybersecurity mostly studied within COBRA research group.
