He works at the
Brno University of Technology, at
the Institute of Mathematics of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. His main
specialization is the image processing and numerical image analysis. It also
happens to be one of the subjects he lectures on the mathematical and physical
engineering courses. His expert knowledge in image processing methods was
fundamental in creating this CD. If you ask him which of the activities
at the University he enjoys most he will, without hesitating, answer û teaching.
He does not regard teaching as just lectures, practice and examinations. He likes to get the students
involved in all of his activities. It is not uncommon that students who, in the
afternoon, attended his lecture, spend the whole night, in his company, freezing
on a hill near Brno, photographing a comet.
His hobbies, pursued with a passion often verging on fanaticism include mainly
photography,
astronomy,
cactus growing and, last but not least,
mountain climbing. The list of activities should
not omit public lectures. In Brno and
its surroundings he has given several dozens (and maybe hundreds) of lectures on
astronomy, cacti, mountains and the beauty of nature.
