Activity:
I have studies Czech and Dutch Studies at Charles University in Prague between 1995-1998. Subsequently I enrolled into Dutch Studies at Radboud University in Nijmegen (the Netherlands) where I also took Indonesian, anthropology, and field methods. This oriented me to my PhD studies in Leiden in General Linguistics. My thesis is a grammar of Abui, a Papuan language of the Alor Island of Eastern Indonesia, under supervision of Prof. Marian Klamer and Dr. Ger Reesink.
As a postdoctoral fellow I joined the Research Centre for Linguistic Typology (RCLT) at the La Trobe University in Melbourne where I worked on the description of the Papuan language Sawila under the supervision of Prof. R.M.W. Dixon and Prof. Alexandra Y. Aikhenvald.
In 2009 I took up the lectureship in Linguistics at the Hong Kong Baptist University.
In 2010 I moved to the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore where I joined the Division of Linguistics and Multilingual Studies as an Assistant Professor in Linguistics. I taught courses on general linguistics, morphosyntax, language change, language contact, typology, and Malay linguistics.
In 2017 I moved to the Palacký University in Olomouc to become the Head of Department of Asian Studies. I teach courses in general linguistics, linguistics of Asian languages, Indonesian language, Indonesian literature, culture, and history.
I believe that education is a portal to new worlds and those who seek it shall find those worlds.
