I am a PhD student with Jiri Svoboda and I work on the multi-wavelength analysis of X-ray binaries. My work focuses on the X-ray and optical anti-correlation between the X-ray emission from the accretion disk and the UV/optical emission from the strong stellar wind in High-Mass X-ray Binaries, especially in the system of Cygnus X-1. In parallel, I work on the X-ray polarimetry properties of X-ray binaries in different spectral states supported by the IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer) mission.
Moreover, I am actively involved in the outreach activities organised by the Astronomical Institute such as the Open Days and the "Chat s Astronomkou" livestream.
