My advanced course on Modeling of Localized Inelastic Deformation (LID 2023)
will take place in Prague on 4-8 September 2023.
I am looking for a postdoc who would like to spend two years with us in Prague. The project is
officially announced on Euraxess and the suggested research topics are specified here.

In 1991 I started my graduate
studies at Northwestern
University
under the supervision of Prof. Zdenek P.
Bazant.
My dissertation dealt with various aspects of quasibrittle fracture in
concrete, rock, and ice. After graduation I went back to Prague for one
year. |
Teaching activities:
|
I have developed a short advanced
course that I taught at various European
universities. Since 2004, this course has been given every year in
September in Prague. The next edition is going to take place on 4-8
September
2023.
At the Czech Technical University in Prague, I regularly teach
undergraduate courses on Strength of Materials, Structural Mechanics
III and Deformation and Failure of Materials, and graduate courses on
Universal Principles of Mechanics and Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions. I also teach
a doctoral course on Tensor Mechanics and contribute to Scientific Writing and Publishing in English.
