After three semesters I got a scholarship funded by The Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sport of the Slovak Republic to continue my studies (in Slovak) at the Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia, where I finished the bachelor in Physics and the master in Astronomy and Astrophysics. During my undergraduate studies I spent some months investigating the methods of computing the exchange energy in quantum dots and the electron impact ionisation effect (experimentally) at the RCQI and Plasma Lab, respectively.
Before coming to Madrid, I worked for HP Slovakia. In January 2012 I got a CSIC Fellow (JAE Predoctoral Programme) and since then I am a PhD student at the Materials Science Institute of Madrid (ICMM), working under the supervision of Dr. Ramon Aguado.
My current research focuses on the theoretical study of the Andreev transport and Josephson effect in realistic normal-superconductor (NS) and superconductor-normal metal- superconductor (SNS) junctions. Further focus of my research is the theoretical support to new experiments towards detecting Majorana fermions in condensed matter, emergent low-energy excitations with non-abelian statistics and with potential application to topological quantum computation due to their robustness against decoherence.
Literature, poetry writing, football, running, cooking, etc… are also among my interests.
