Profile on ResearchGate
Summary
In 2015 he received his PhD in Tectonics from the Department of Geology and Paleontology at Comenius University in Bratislava.Currently he works at the State Geological Institute of Dionýz Štúr in Bratislava on projects focused on geological mapping of Mesozoic, sequences of different areas of the Inner Western Carpathians and the Pieniny Klippen Belt. He is also the scientific editor of the journal Geologické práce Správy (2017 – 2025).
