Overview
I am a postdoc in Mathematical Physics at Charles University in Prague, mainly interested in supersymmetry and quantum field theories. I am also fascinated by theories of gravity.

Research
The focus of my current research is on supersymmetry in models of particles. Some predictions of superstring theory are in fact true already for particles (and hence do not rely on the conformal structure). I am deploying tools of algebraic geometry such as BRST cohomology of these systems. Additionally, I have been questioning the target space geometry of some bosonic sigma models through some higher structures, embodied in algebroids.
