Samuel is a theoretical physicist who is interested in the (quantum) structure of space. He researches three areas:fuzzy spaces, M-theory and microscopic black holes. The main question is: how would nontrivial structure affect the physics?
He also founded the science-outreach project Vedátor co-hosts Vedátorský podcast (Scientific podcast) with Jozef Kleberc and Rozhovory o vesmíre
(Discussion about the universe) and published two science-outreach books two pop-science books.
In his (rare) spare time, Samuel likes to run (a lot) and climb (a little).
