Work
I work mainly in the field of relational database analysis and design.
I am also interested in educational uses of computers, the use of hypermedia
in application software and the application of logic to the study of
databases.
My curriculum vitae
I graduated from Charles U., Prague in 1965 (Numerical Methods)
and started work at this faculty.My work then was mainly concerned
with computer programming. I left the University in 1974 for political
reasons and for almost twenty years worked as a computer programmer.
I returrned to the University in 1991 and have been a member of the Computer Science
Department ever since.
I received my doctorate (RNDr.) at the Comenius U. in Bratislava in 1984
and my Ph.D. degree (CSc.) at the same University in 1996.
