Career Paths of Our Graduates

Roman Lunda

Higher Ministerial Counsellor, Department of Climate Change Adaptation, Ministry of the Environment

I focus mainly on implementing the Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC), providing conceptual and methodological support for nature‑based flood protection measures, and restoring the natural functions of watercourses.

„We help ensure that measures addressing the impacts of climate change are practical and feasible.”

Jan Másílko

Research Assistant, Bavarian State Research Center for Agriculture, Institute for Fisheries, Department for Carp Farming

 I work on projects in the field of pond aquaculture, train pond farmers, and provide individual consulting on fish farming and water quality. I regularly present my results at national and international conferences.

“I enjoy translating data and experiments into clear, practical recommendations.”

 

Margaréta Garayová

Quality Manager at a Fish Processing Plant, Rybářství Chlumec nad Cidlinou, a.s.

 I help connect the tradition of Czech pond farming with modern practices and market demands. I focus on quality, seasonal products, and clear communication with both buyers and the general public.

“ It makes sense to me when honest work done at the ponds continues with high‑quality processing and ends with a satisfied customer.”

 

 

Jakub Krejsa

Head of the Zálší Unit, Rybářství Litomyšl, s.r.o.

In Rybářství Litomyšl, I ensure the smooth operation of the pond management unit—from planning harvests to fish care to customer relations. Thanks to hands‑on experience, we maintain high quality even during demanding seasons.

“Every harvest is teamwork and a commitment to the people who look forward to our fish.”

Ondřej Nikl

Managing Director, Nutrin s.r.o.

I shape visions and strategies, connect research with practice, and co‑create formulations. Operational management is not my strong suit, and I really can’t stand paperwork. :-)

“In animal nutrition, I don’t like the term ‘optimization’. Too often it results in feeds that animals consume only because they have no other choice. I try to look for solutions that—thanks to palatability, quality, and a diversity of ingredients—deliver more than ‘just’ weight gain.”

 

Tomáš Zajíc

Head of the Chlumec nad Cidlinou Unit, Rybářství Chlumec nad Cidlinou, a.s.

 I graduated in fisheries and followed up with a PhD focused on the nutrition and meat quality of carp and other species. Until 2015, I worked in research.

“In practice, I build on research data.”

 

 

Koushik Roy

Researcher, Faculty of Fisheries and Protection of Water, USB, specializing in applied fish nutrition in ponds, recirculating aquaculture systems, and aquaponics

In my research, I focus on a wide range of topics—from novel feed ingredients to feeding methodologies and concepts—linking fish nutrition with bioenergetics to optimize nutritional cycles in aquaculture systems. I also study aquatic food systems, where I integrate principles of the circular bioeconomy, ecosystem services, and the relationships between aquaculture environments and the principles of planetary‑healthy diets.

“I develop ecologically efficient food systems that restore nature and support the health of people and the environment.”

Azeez Ewumi Folorunso

Researcher, Faculty of Fisheries and Protection of Water, USB

As a researcher at FROV JU, I explore new methods of biological crop protection in circular systems. I also focus on the economic aspects of circular systems.

“Smart prevention instead of late intervention.”
