- High resolution scanning of any object, human skull or other part of the human body
- Expertise in virtual anthropology, i.e., acquisition, analysis of different types of 3D data (sets of points, curves, surface and volume models), statistical analyses, documentation and interpretation of results
- Expertise in human growth and development with an overlap into biomedicine (e.g., comparison of the human body’s morphology with respect to therapy, development of standards of human body development)
- Expertise in forensics and bioarchaeology (estimation of demographic indicators such as age, sex and height, reconstruction of missing bone parts, facial reconstruction using the skull, analysis of tooth microstructure and diet reconstruction of historic populations)
- Whole body composition analysis (bioelectrical impedance analysis)
- Laser scanning
- Structured-light scanning
- Scanning of living or non-living objects
- Acquisition, processing, interpretation of results of landmark, curvature, surface and volumetric data
- Data analysis (landmark, curvature, surface, volumetric data) with geometric morphometric methods
- Measuring body composition using bioelectrical impedance analysis
- Morphological comparison of the human body, its parts in time and geographical horizons, norms and pathologies
- Research in facial morphology in orofacial cleft disorders and rare syndromes
- Monitoring ontogenetic development of the face, including senescence changes and facial asymmetry
- Development of prediction systems for aging or rejuvenating the face for the purposes of forensic science
- Analysis of the human skeleton (most frequently the pelvis and skull) for determining sex
- Analysis of 3D models of articulation surfaces for estimating age
- Estimation of body mass using long bones
- Virtual reconstructions of fossil skeletal material for use in žrbioarchaeology and forensic anthropology

- Procured devices and software equipment for 3D data imaging and analysis
- Created an extended and unique database of (1) surface scans of faces of the Czech population, including selected facial expressions (transversal and longitudinal data), (2) virtual models of human palates and faces of patients with craniofacial malformations, (3) CT scans of heads and other bones of the contemporary population, (4) virtual models of fossils or skulls and bones of different prehistoric and historic periods
- Proposed and created the software Morphome3cs II in collaboration with the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics at Charles University. This software processes landmark and curvature data as well as whole surfaces of models
- Multidisciplinary collaboration to introduce neonatal cheiloplasty as the preferred surgery for patients with orofacial clefts
- Developed standards for the Department of Biology and Medical Genetics, 2nd Faculty of Medicine, Charles University and Motol University Hospital
- Developed standards for the Plastic Surgery Clinic, 3rd Medical Faculty and Faculty Hospital Královské Vinohrady
- Created prediction models for estimating sex and age based on dentition
- Published articles in high impact international journals on anthropological, forensic and biomedical topics (e.g., American Journal of Physical Anthropology, Forensic Science International, International Journal of Legal Medicine, PLOS One,
American Journal of Human Biology, International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology, Legal Medicine)
