Over the last 15 years, I have devoted most of my time to building the Institute of Economic Studies at Charles University. The Institute is a department in economics and finance, focusing mainly on topics on the intersection of economics and finance. In the transition period 2008-9, I worked as Deputy Director and then was appointed Director for four terms (2010-2023). 

With great young colleagues, we have grown the Institute to become a leader in the country. Also, given our and CERGE-EI's recent activities, Charles University ranks consistently top 150 globally (U.S. News, ARWU, QS). 

We run undergraduate and Master's programs in Economics and Finance, Finance and Data Analysis, and Corporate Strategy and Finance. Many graduates from our undergraduate program have been recently admitted to leading European schools in economics and finance (e.g., LSE, Oxford, Cambridge, HEC Paris, HSG St. Gallen, Stockholm School of Economics). Graduates from our doctoral program in Economics and Finance have placed at Barnard College at Columbia University, European Central Bank, Moody's Analytics, Frontier Economics, BCG, and other international organizations, academic institutions, and companies. 

Currently, I serve as Associate Dean for Graduate Studies at Charles University's Faculty of Social Sciences. In this position and through the Czech Economic Society, I help to establish a local job market for economists.
