Building better assessments through research, teaching, and technology
PhD researcher at Charles University. I study how students demonstrate epistemic knowledge in history — and build the tools to measure it.

Research
Epistemic knowledge, cognitive validity, and assessment design in history education.
Teaching
Former deputy headteacher, history & Czech language and literature teacher at secondary and high school level.
Technology
Full-stack developer building assessment platforms and research tools.
Stage 2 Registered Report, funded by GAUK, synthesising epistemic statements from historical thinking research and validating them through expert review. The current phase is abstract-screening reliability before the final corpus and Delphi rounds.
Classroom-based online testing platform with two-part multiple-choice items across three parallel test variants. The locked pilot dataset (N=525) shows epistemic knowledge can be assessed as a largely unitary competence and now feeds thesis evidence and the next-generation instrument.
Think-aloud study (N=20 students, N=6 teachers) examining what cognitive processes historical assessments actually elicit. Epistemic annotation of protocols reveals that process-based coding alone masks the disciplinary knowledge distinguishing expert from everyday reasoning.
Looking for a collaborator on assessment research, a speaker on historical thinking measurement, or a consultant on test design? I’m open to joint projects, visiting talks, and advisory roles.
