Research:

The research focus can be divided into three main areas: local government, geography of sports and data/cartographic visualization. Local government research is focused on the processes of informatization of municipalities in Slovakia with an emphasis on the online availability of data on local self-governments units in Slovakia using the MySQL database system when distributing data on the Internet. In the field of sports geography, I focus on the processing and subsequent visualization of historical data from the field of global sports events (Olympic Games, Tour de France). The field of data/cartographic visualization is focused on the issue of creating map outputs in offline but also online environments. Here I use knowledge from the field of cartography and map design. In the online environment, I focus on the use of formats and markup languages for the purpose of creating map outputs distributed on the Internet. I use various APIs, SVG, KML and TopoJSON formats.
