I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Economics of Masaryk University (Brno, Czechia) and CERGE-EI Foundation Teaching Fellow (NY, USA).
I am an IZA Affiliate and GLO Fellow.
I am a member of the National Institute for Research on the Socioeconomic Impacts of Disease and Systemic Risks (SYRI).
I am a labour economist and my core research focuses on two broad topics:
1) Discrimination in the marketplace (e.g., labour, rental housing, service markets)
2) Effects of within cohort age differences (i.e., relative age/age at school entry)
Among other things, I am specialized in designing field experiments.
