My research is focussed on understanding the Devonian to Carboniferous subduction-collisional history of the Northwestern margin of the Bohemian Massif. The Bohemian massif is the easternmost segment of the European Variscan belt and is particularly interesting owing to the occurence of high-pressure and ultra-high-pressure (including diamond-bearing) lithologies. Together with my co-workers we apply a multi-disciplinary (metamorphic petrology, geochronology, geochemistry, and structural analysis) approach to understand the mechanisms involved and associated physio-chemical effects.
Previously, I completed a PhD. at the Faculty Science, Charles University in Prague, where I applied similar techniques to Archean and Proterozoic rocks from the Kabul Block in Afghanistan.
