I am a PhD student and a researcher in Remote Sensing at Palacky University in Olomouc, Czech Republic. My interest lies in research of evapotranspiration and cooling functions of vegetation. I am an avid supporter of Free and Open Surce Systems and Solutions.

I am a bookworm with deep love for cats and everything fluffy and cute.
