Academic activities at Charles University

During my time at Charles University, I was dedicated to teaching, research, and academic work in the fields of econometrics, financial economics, and data analysis.

Below is a summary of publicly traceable activities based on available resources from Charles University and academic repositories. This list may not be complete.


Context

For me, academic experience is not just an item in my professional profile. It is the foundation upon which my current work with data, models, and AI is built: the ability to formulate a problem, rely on empirical evidence, and explain complex matters in an understandable way.

This combination creates a natural bridge between academia, econometrics, and my current Data Science / AI practice.


Overview

Area Publicly traceable minimum
Duration of involvement 9 years (2009-2018)
Teaching at least 2 traceable courses in IS CUNI
Academic theses at least 1 supervised thesis and multiple reviewed / evaluated theses
Publication outputs at least 3 records on IDEAS / RePEc
Main topics econometrics, financial markets, portfolio and risk management, statistical analysis

Teaching

Course Academic Year Role Area Source
Portfolio Analysis and Risk Management (JEM092) 2014/2015 lecturer portfolio management, asset pricing, risk management IS CUNI
Mathematical Analysis Seminar I (JEB058) 2013/2014 lecturer mathematical analysis, limits, derivatives, preparing students for the quantitative part of their studies IS CUNI
Note on teaching

Publicly available records show both specialized teaching in finance and risk management, as well as participation in teaching quantitative fundamentals for economics students. This corresponds well with a profile that later naturally led to econometric and data-oriented work.


Supervised and Reviewed Theses

Overview of traceable examples

Role Thesis Year Topic Source
supervisor Financial liberalization and stock market efficiency 2015/2016 market efficiency, financial liberalization IS CUNI – list of theses
reviewer The Housing Bubble in China 2011/2012 real estate market, speculative bubbles IS CUNI
reviewer Discrimination, information and cognitive effects: evidence from a field experiment in the Czech rental housing market 2009/2010 behavioral economics, experimental economics IS CUNI
reviewer How Rewarding Is Technical Analysis? Evidence from Central and Eastern European Stock Markets 2010/2011 technical analysis, capital market efficiency IS CUNI
reviewer / evaluator Household Debt in the Czech Republic: Focus on Mortgage Amount Determinants 2016 household debt, mortgages DSpace CUNI
reviewer / evaluator Analysis of Interdependencies among Central European Stock Markets 2012 stock market correlation, DCC GARCH DSpace CUNI
What this shows

The public sources repeatedly feature themes of financial markets, econometric modeling, structural changes, and applied data analysis. Additionally, broader economic and behavioral topics appear, indicating a scope that extends beyond narrow technical specialization.


Publications

Year Title Type Link
2016 Structural Distress Index: Structural Break Analysis of the Czech and Polish Stock Markets journal article IDEAS / RePEc
2013 Multi-Level Analysis of Dynamic Portfolio Formations: Central European Countries working paper IDEAS / RePEc
2010 Relationship between Czech and European developed stock markets: DCC MVGARCH analysis working paper IDEAS / RePEc
Publication profile

The public profile on IDEAS / RePEc links these outputs to the Institute of Economic Studies at FSV UK. Thematically, it primarily involves the intersection of econometrics, capital market analysis, correlation structures, and portfolio modeling.

Why this section is important

Publications represent the strongest publicly verifiable layer of academic credibility. They also naturally connect to my current work with data pipelines, modeling, and AI systems, as they are built on the same foundation: formulating hypotheses, working with data, and providing defensible interpretations of results.


Transition to Current Practice

My current projects in Machine Learning, MCP architectures, and AI automation directly build upon this academic experience. In practice, I now use the same fundamental principles:

  • working with data and ensuring its quality,
  • modeling and evaluating results,
  • explaining complex problems in a structured way,
  • translating analytical insights into actionable decisions.

Thus, my academic background forms the evidence layer of my professional brand and also explains why I integrate economic thinking, data analytics, and AI implementation into a single framework.
