from the University of Brno in Physics in 1979, RNDr.
degree (roughly corresponding to the MSc. degree) in
Applied Physics in 1979 (University of Brno). Principal Designer and Software engineer for the JR-6 and JR-6A Spinner Magnetometers which measure remanent magnetization of rocks. Co-Designer and Software engineer for the KLY-4 and
KLY-4S Kappabridges for measuring anisotropy of magnetic
susceptibility of rocks. Co-Designer and Software engineer for the MFK1 Multi-Function Kappabridges for measuring bulk susceptibility and anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility of rocks in variable fields and at three frequencies.

(Technical University of Brno). A scientist with broad interests in various disciplines associated with the development of instruments and measurement techniques: mathematics, numerical mathematics, mathematical statistics, theoretical physics, practical instrument designing, measurement and data processing software. Pioneered the introduction of the SI units into the rock magnetism and introduced a powerful system of plotting anisotropies of use to many branches of science. The leader in understanding the design of tensors for measurement of anisotropic phenomenon, author of an original and broadly used method for the statistical processing of groups of second rank tensors. Author of an original concept of the processing the torque magnetometer data. Principal Designer of the Spinner Magnetometers of the initial JR Series for measuring remanent magnetization of rocks. Principal Designer of the Kappabridges of the KLY Series for measuring anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility. Designer of the PUM-1 Pulse Magnetizer for investigation of the isothermal remanence anisotropy in high fields. Co-author of the ANISOFT package of programs for advanced processing of magnetic anisotropy data. |
