To our dismay we have learned that, while on holiday in the High Tatra,

Petr Svestka
Researcher Computer Science

aged 30, met with a fatal accident.

For many years Petr has been with the Department, first as undergraduate student, later as graduate student. Last year he joined the staff of the Department. We have lost an enthusiastic, promising researcher, an esteemed colleague and a good friend.

Our thoughts go out to his family and friends. We hope they will find the strength to bear this tragic and unexpected loss.
