Ing. Radek Marik, CSc., received his Ing. (M.S.) and CSc. (Ph.D.) degrees from the Czech Technical University, Prague, Czech Republic, in 1984 and 1992, respectively, both in Technical Cybernetics. For 15 years he worked mainly in the field of computer vision at the Czech Technical University in Prague and the University of Surrey, UK. Since 1997, he was with Protys s.r.o., Czech Republic, working on research contracts with Rockwell Automation in the field of software diagnostics with the focus on metaprogramming and automated design of software tests. From 2007 he worked on technology trends identification, knowledge-based software comprehension and semantically based product interoperability on research projects at CA Technologies. He joined Czech Technical University teams in 2011. He is a (co)-author of about 80 papers and has filed two patents in complex networks analysis and machine learning in signal processing. He focuses mainly on adaptation of cybernetic principles and methods of complex network analysis and artificial intelligence in different application domains such as telecommunications, signal processing, and Egyptology.
