Science Experience

During my study, I focused on Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry and degradation mechanisms on the photoactive TiO₂ surface. I am now specialized in mechanical analysis of polymer materials and composites using nanoindentation technique. In this time I am preparing polymer composites, mainly with new inorganic fillers – MXenes, using different preparation techniques and analyse mechanical and electrical properties of prepared composites.

I have very good practical experiences with Time of Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF-SIMS IV) and Triboindenter Hysitron.

I am participating in different national and international projects. For example from Slovak Research and Development Agency it is the project about “Smart MoS₂ platform for cancer diagnosis and targeted treatment”, HORIZON2020 “Nano2Day: Multifunctional polymer composites doped with novel 2D nanoparticles for advanced applications”,  M-ERA.NET “Nano2Com: Advanced polymer composites filled with novel 2D nanoparticles” and HORIZON2020/M-ERA.NET “EPIC: European Partnership for Improved Composites”. I am the author or co-author of scientific articles in CC journals, which are listed below.

Web Design Experience

I started design websites in high school, just for fun. Then my friends asked me to make some websites for their projects or clubs.

For first I was self-learning HTML and CSS, followed by PHP and a little JavaScript. Last few years I am working with WordPress, in which I am changing CSS and adding custom PHP codes. I started developing my own WordPress plugins.

Skills

HTML/HTML5 (good), CSS (good), PHP (good), MySQL (medium), JavaScript (beginner), Laravel (beginner)
