I am a sociologist. My research focuses on quality of life, wellbeing, mental health, social inequalities and sleep. As well as the adult population, I also focus on young people — from adolescents to university students — and on how everyday circumstances, stressors and the social environment affect their life satisfaction, health and resilience.
I have experience in researching biological rhythms and interdisciplinary collaboration in the field of sleep (collaboration between SOÚ and FGÚ as part of my doctoral research). During my doctoral studies, I collaborated on the international COVID-19 International Student Well-being Study led by the the University of Antwerp. I subsequently built on this project with my own START doctoral grant, focusing on sleep, life satisfaction and daily rhythms among Czech university students.
I am currently a member of a team that forms part of the OPJAK project Beyond Security: Role of Conflict in Resilience-Building (CoRe).
