Education: MSc in Plasma Physics at the Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia

Present position: early stage researcher at the Institute for Breath Research, enrolled at the University of Innsbruck in PhD in Chemistry, waiting for a dissertation thesis defence

Research: analysis of PTR-MS data related to the project EUREGIO; measurements of 19 ketones measured with O₂⁺ regent ions under two different humidity conditions ("dry" - commonly used condition while measuring with PTR-MS and "humid" - to mimic breath condition); preparing protocol for measurements of prototype testing of metabolite profiling via PTR-MS as a non-invasive method to differentiate patients with metabolic and digestive dysfunction.

Other activities: Presenting our research at the Institute for Breath Research at the "Lange Nacht der Forschung 2020" (Long night of science) 8.5.2020, now postponed to 9.10.2020
