Welcome

2012-03-27T21:05:43+02:00

My name is Adam J Sporka. Recently I resumed living in Prague after two years in the Alps at the University of Trento. I returned at my alma mater, Czech Technical University in Prague. While I was gone, my colleagues from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (where I got my MSc and PhD degrees under supervision of prof. Pavel Slavík) founded the Department of Computer Graphics and Interaction which I joined immediately after my return, just in time for the 09/10 summer semester.
