Ladislav Stanke holds three master’s degrees (in Nanotechnology, Digital and Instrumental Optics, and Biomedical Engineering) and a Ph.D. in Applied Physics. In his theses, he focused on applied optics. From 2018 to 2020, he worked as a Lead Lighting Engineer at HELLA AUTOTECHNIK NOVA. He is interested in the relationship between humans and modern technology. His main focus lies on light and its various aspects and uses. In recent years, he was interested in the topic of visual perception, especially the issue of glare in road traffic, which is why he decided to join forces with the Department of Psychology at the Palacký University in Olomouc. He is a co-author of the design of the HLI laboratory and the individual experiments carried out there. Since March 2020, he has been working at the Czech National e-Health Center (NTMC) within the University Hospital Olomouc. He is an enthusiastic promoter of open-source, start-up culture and an eternal admirer of the Israeli-style innovative thinking. His main aim is to break down barriers between disciplines and to look for possibilities of interdisciplinary cooperation.
