His long-term research focuses on the intersection of media technologies, media for democracy, and user experiences.

Another area of his research is the study of publishing strategies for public service and commercial video-on-demand platforms. As part of the EU Horizon project Fair MusE, he led a work package addressing issues of bias and inequity in music streaming services. In teaching, he works with computer engineering students, lecturing on computer ethics, privacy, and cybersecurity.
Cirg - about
CIRG – the Cultural Industries Research Group focuses on research into cultural and media industries, particularly on current issues, challenges, and conflicts arising from tensions between intellectual property law, the business models of cultural industries, the digitalization and platformization of cultural sectors, and changing consumer habits. The group’s name is an acronym of its English title, Cultural Industries Research Group. CIRG is an informal association of experts from media studies, intellectual property law, media law, media ethics, cultural economics and cultural management, sociology of culture, and data analysis. The group operates on the basis of project-based funding through applied research projects (TAČR, NAKI, EEA and Norway Grants, OP JAK Intersectoral Cooperation), basic research projects (GAČR, ZIF Bielefeld, OP VVV Excellent Research, DFG), as well as contract research (State Cinematography Fund, Association of Audiovisual Producers).
