Jan Faigl
Jan Faigl received his Ph.D. degree in artificial intelligence and biocybernetics from the Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU) in 2010. The topic of his Ph.D. thesis is Multi-Goal Path Planning for Cooperative Sensing, which has been award for Antonin Svoboda prize for the best Ph.D. thesis by Czech Society for Cybernetics and Informatics. Since 2006 he has acted as research fellow at the Gerstner Laboratory, CTU till 2012. During 2003-2006, he worked as system analyst and programmer at ProTyS, Inc. on design and development of systems for railway safety and diagnostics. In 2013, he joined the Agent Technology Center and works on topics related to computational robotics. He is an author or coauthor of more than 50 publications in the peer-reviewed journals and conferences. His interests include planning, reasoning and navigation methods for autonomous intelligent mobile robotic systems for inspection, surveillance and exploration missions and long-term environment monitoring.
Jan Jakubův
Dr. Jan Jakubuv is a postdoctoral researcher at ATG since March 2012. He works on
the FAA branch of the AgentFly project.
Jan received his master degree in Theoretical Computer Science from Charles University in Prague in 2006. His master thesis, supervised by Prof. Petr Štěpánek, concerned automated theorem proving using the Tableaux methods. During his studies Jan became one of the founding members of ARG (Automated Reasoning Group) on the Charles University. In 2007 Jan received an EPSRC scholarship to undertake a PhD study at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh under the supervision of Dr. Joe Wells and Prof. Fairouz Kamareddine. His PhD thesis, which concerns advanced process calculi type systems, was successfully defended with no corrections in 2010. After his PhD studies, he worked as a freelance programmer and as a machine vibration diagnostic system developer at CMMS s.r.o. Jan is also involved in several projects held at Tesla ElectronTubes, s.r.o.
Jan is interested in applications of theoretical computer science both to industrial and fundamental research. He is especially interested in applications of automated reasoning techniques and type systems approach.
Antonín Komenda
Antonín Komenda is a researcher at ATG since 2007. He holds PhD from Artificial Intelligence and Biocybernetics from CTU with thesis on Domain-independent Multiagent Plan Repair. His master studies of Technical Cybernetics were finished also at ATG with a master thesis on Usage of Multi-agent System for Non-cooperative Airplane Deconfliction. In his research, he focuses on theory, methods and algorithms for automated multiagent planning, distributed problem solving and coordination. Similarily to the research work, Antonín's project work at ATG focused mosly on distributed planning, particularly in domains of tactical missions and logistics. From 2009, he worked on a track of Tactical AgentScout and Tactical AgentFly projects (funded by CERDEC) which targeted hardware deployment of various multi-agent algorithms for tactical mission support. From 2012, Antonín's project work got focused more on theoretical research in robust multi-agent planning (funded by AFRL). Additonally, Antonín was a technical lead of two of the projects at ATG. Antonín undertook a 5-week internship at Drexel University in Philadelphia in 2010 and a he was a post-doctoral fellow at Technion – Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa for a year in 2013-2014.
Antonín's prior employment was developer/programmer/analyst in private companies since 1998. His work focused on content managment systems and programming frameworks. He also collaborated on three startups in the Internet industry.
