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.
