RNDr. Jiří Švancara. Ph.D.
Assistant professor
Charles University
Faculty of Mathematics and Physics
I am an assistant professor at Department of Theoretical Computer Science and Mathematical Logic, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University. My main research interest is in multi-agent pathfinding, specificaly via reduction to other formalisms such as Boolean satisfiability (SAT). The problem is closely realted to otpimization and robotics. My other interests include combinatorial search, optimization, and nature-inspired algorithms.
I got my PhD in 2020 from Charles University under the supervision of Prof. Roman Barták. The topic of my thesis was Multi-agent Path Finding.
I am teaching practical classes on AI, logic, and algorithms. For more details, see the teaching section. If you are a student interested in supervision for an individual software project (ročníkový projekt), or bachelor’s/master’s thesis, see the thesis topics section. This section will be updated with my current interests and ideas.
