I have a long-term interest in numerical modelling of water flow and solute transport in natural porous media. I am particularly interested in the parameterization of soil hydraulic properties and the associated inverse estimation of water flow and solute transport parameters in unsaturated zone models. Activities in experimental catchments in the Jizera Mountains and Bohemian Forest allow me to broaden my focus into the fields of experimental hydrology and meteorology. Specifically, this includes, for example, estimation of evapotranspiration, evaluation of catchment balance, or conducting and evaluating infiltration experiments.
