I decided to do physics because it was trying to answer the fundamental questions about the world we live in, and it also offered more hands-on work experience. Joining DUNE was a transition from my previous project with about 100 collaborators to a project with more than a thousand, which offers even broader possibility of interaction and personal development. Also, the designs are completely different. I like DUNE\u2019s physical and technological ambitions in pushing the frontiers further. I started working with the proton decay search group, but I also look forward to joining the efforts of the far-detector calibration group.<\/p>\n<p>When I\u2019m not working on physics, I play basketball, which has been my hobby for most of my life. I also started climbing. That happened around the time I was moving from the Czech Republic to Sheffield, which is coincidentally considered the center of climbing in England. I have also found some time to learn swing dancing, which was something I always wanted to do.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/div>\n<div class=\"learnmore\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fnal.gov\/pub\/science\/lbnf-dune\/index.html\">Curious about the project?
