+==== My research ====
-Making security usable for IT professionals (developers, system administrators and such) that lack a specialized training in computer security. We focus on cryptographic interfaces (APIs) of developer tools and software libraries. A recent experiment on a developer conference tried to assess the usability of OpenSSL, a well-known and widely used cryptographic library. Based on the overall results, we deem the OpenSSL usability insufficient according to both user opinions and standardized measures. Moreover, the usability seems to further decrease with experience gain. There was a great disproportion between the participant views of a successful task accomplishment and the reality. This highlights the necessity of a usable design even for tools targeted at experienced users.
+My current research is about making security usable for IT professionals (developers, system administrators and such) that lack a specialized training in computer security. I focus on cryptographic interfaces (both programmable and command-line) of developer tools and software libraries. Currently, the emphasis is placed on X.509-capable libraries, such as OpenSSL, GnuTLS and NSS, paying special attention to the process of certificate creation and validation.
+Before coming to usable security I was interested in randomness testing and helped develop the [[https://github.com/crocs-muni/eacirc|EACirc project]], the automatic problem solver based on circuit-like representation and genetic programming.
+I'm a Ph.D. candidate supervised by Vashek Matyas.
+My research efforts are supported by [[http://research.redhat.com/|Red Hat Czech]] and co-supervised by Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos.
+Furthermore, we cooperate with psychologists from [[http://irtis.fss.muni.cz/|IRTIS]].

 ==== Teaching and supervision ====
-<TEXT size="large">
 I see deep meaning and responsibility in teaching and have been tutoring seminars and lecturing a few courses for more than 5 years.
-I participate in some security courses ([[https://is.muni.cz/predmet/fi/PA193|Secure coding principles and practices]] and [[https://is.muni.cz/predmet/fi/PV181|Laboratory of security and applied cryptography]]). More importantly, I am much engaged in the local community of student teachers and leading the [[https://is.muni.cz/predmet/fi/DUCIT|Teaching Lab]] course.
+I participate in some security courses ([[https://is.muni.cz/predmet/fi/PA193|Secure coding principles and practices]] and [[https://is.muni.cz/predmet/fi/PV181|Laboratory of security and applied cryptography]]) as well as courses on functional programming (Haskell) ([[https://is.muni.cz/predmet/fi/IB015|Non-Imperative Programming]] and [[https://is.muni.cz/predmet/fi/IB016|Seminar on Functional Programming]]). I have supervised multiple bachelor theses in the fields of computer security, functional programming and programming education.
-Finally, I am still very fond of functional programming (Haskell in particular) and have been teaching [[https://is.muni.cz/predmet/fi/IB015|Non-Imperative Programming]] and [[https://is.muni.cz/predmet/fi/IB016|Seminar on Functional Programming]] for quite some time.
+More importantly, I am much engaged in the local community of student teachers called **Teaching lab** aiming to improve the courses and skills of teachers at the faculty and elsewhere. We run a course for student starting to teach ([[https://is.muni.cz/predmet/fi/DUCIT|Teaching Lab course]]). We've designed a [[https://github.com/mukrop/teachers-reflective-diary|Teacher's reflective diary]] to help teachers improve their skills by reflection.

+==== Other activities ====
+I'm an avid member of the the organization for experiential learning called [[https://www.instruktori.cz/|Instruktoři Brno]] aiming to inspire people, broaden their experience and lead them to self-improvement.
+I co-organize(d) multiple activities bringing enthusiasm for informatics natural sciences to secondary-school students. This includes the online programming puzzle hunt [[https://interlos.fi.muni.cz/|InterLoS]] or the multidosciplinary event [[https://intersob.math.muni.cz/|InterSoB]]. These activities are covered by the [[https://zverinec.fi.muni.cz/|Friends of the nordic animals association]] (a student club at the Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk University).
