Ph.D.

assistant professor

By appointment, via e-mail: me@adamjaros.cz

Adam is a passionate musician who also consumes music on a large scale. Most of the time when he is not directly interacting with people, he spends just listening to them. In addition, he is interested in technology and whenever he has the opportunity to take apart or build a computer, he takes advantage of it. You can also meet him on a mountain ridge or boulder.
