During my studies and sabbatical leaves later on, I was involved in research at major institutions in the field of geotechnical engineering, such as University of Innsbruck; Imperial College, London; City University, London; Universite Joseph Fourier, Grenoble; University of Dresden; University of Karlsruhe; University of New South
Wales, Sydney; University of Western Australia, Perth; Zhejiang University, China.

As a national representative, I have been involved in three technical committees of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2010-2016 I was secretary of the Czech and Slovak member society of ISSMGE, 2009-2015 I was a member of the panel P105 of the Czech Science foundation, I am or was editorial board member of journals Computers and Geotechnics (2009-2015), Acta Geotechnica (since 2014) and Géotechnique (since 2016). Since its launch in 2007 I have been coordinator and administrator of the soilmodels.info website. I teach a PhD-level course on hypoplasticity modelling,
