I am a low-temperature experimental physicist exploring the hydrodynamics of superfluid helium and dynamics of quantum vortices. In my research at the University of Nottingham, I created the most extensive superfluid vortex flows that serve as simulators of black-hole dynamics, connecting condensed matter with fundamental physics.
Beyond academia, I am passionate about science communication and informal education. I took a leading role in the organisation of national physics competitions Výfuk and Náboj Junior and was active in the Slovak physics olympiad commitee. Hundreds of intriguing problems that appeared in these competitions are published in two books I co-auhored.
Nowadays, I am leading a large public engagement project that resulted in the development of Photon Bricks, a hands-on laser interferometer made of LEGO bricks.
I was born in 1994 in Trenčín, Slovakia.

I was a part of the team who organised the 2025 Community Workshop for the Quantum Simulators for Fundamental Physics (QSimFP) consortium, which took place last week (16-21 March 2025) at the University of Nottingham.The workshop brought together researchers from all over the globe to discuss recent progress in analogue
Inaugural qmeets talk
I recently gave the inaugural talk for the qmeets series, titled Capturing Black Holes and the Early Universe in the Lab, together with Silke Weinfurtner. This event marked the launch of qmeets, a new platform dedicated to fostering discussions at the intersection of quantum science, fundamental physics, and beyond. In our talk, we
