About me
I am working in Nice, at the Université Côte d’Azur, as a postdoc on Mai Gehrke’s project DuaLL. I am a member of the research group called Dualité de Stone, langages formels et logique. My professional website is here.
I did my Ph.D. at the Department of Applied Mathematics of Charles University in Prague and at the School of Computer Science of the University of Birmingham. My Ph.D. supervisors were Aleš Pultr and Achim Jung, and I was a member of the Theory Group and CARGO.
Interests
- Dualities for topology and algebra and their applications in theoretical computer science and logic.
- Hobbies: Functional programming, concurrent computing and foundations of mathematics.

How to pronounce my name?
It’s like 托馬斯 in Chinese, توماش in Arabic, Tomaasch in German and Tom\'{a}\v{s} in (La)TeX. You can also simply call me Tom ;-).
Petty Activism
I fully support the work of the following organisations:
- Fair Open Access Alliance and Free Journal Network, for standing up to predatory publishers, as explained by Timothy Gowers and here.
- Konspiratori.sk and MapaMedii for their fight against media with shady ownership structure and often alarming financial backing, as explained here (in Slovak).
