In his role as an institutional research specialist at Anglo-American University, Martin combines analytical thinking with practical experience. He focuses on systematic collection and analysis of student data, including success rates and satisfaction, which helps the university make strategic decisions and continuously improve the quality of education.

Martin graduated with a degree in landscape and land adjustments from the Czech University of Life Sciences, where he specialized in mapping and soil drought prediction. Alongside his academic career, he has long been dedicated to public education and awareness–having served as chairman of several associations focused on cultural and civic education, organizing documentary screenings, debates, and other educational activities for the general public.


His practical experience also includes running his own orchard and producing apple juice under the brand Opatrné jablko. Having traveled to more than 50 countries worldwide and worked extensively in an international environment, he brings to his position a valuable ability to work across cultures and understand diverse perspectives, which is crucial in an international university setting.
