"I am a physical chemist by training, but over the past fifteen years, my work has gradually shifted into biomedicine, where I still apply my knowledge from physical chemistry. I spent seven years studying in Austria, in Linz, where I also completed my PhD. I was then offered a position to establish my own research group in Sweden, where I spent five years focusing primarily on developing new technologies for neuromodulation. After five years in Sweden, an exciting offer came to move my research group to CEITEC BUT in Brno, and I immediately felt at home here."
