Romana just finished her Ph.D. working under Norbert's supervision. From 2017, she participates in the co-tutoring program with the University of Turin in Italy and gained a second supervisor, Prof. Francesco Massaro. Her main interest is in the study of active supermassive black holes in the centres of giant elliptical galaxies with the Very Large Array (VLA) at radio frequencies between 1-2GHz.
Romana did her bachelor's and master's degrees at Masaryk University in Brno working in the field of optical spectroscopy.
From the 2nd year of her Ph.D., she has been traveling between Italy and Czech Republic, dividing her time between the University of Turin and Masaryk University. During her 3rd and 4th year of Ph.D., she spent summer-months at the Harvard & Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) in Boston working with Dr. Paul Nulsen on her sample of active galactic nuclei (AGN) in giant elliptical galaxies, comparing and analysing their radio and X-ray emission.
