Dominik is a first-year student in the MPhil in Politics programme, having joined Oxford in 2024. His primary research interests include topics at the intersection of technology and geopolitics – such as global technological competition, the role of big tech firms, or cybersecurity – as well as Europe’s position in the world, particularly its foreign and security policy and economic competitiveness.

For his thesis, under the supervision of Professor Lucas Kello, he is researching the nexus of European security and digital policies.

Before coming to Oxford, he obtained a Bachelor's degree in European Social and Political Studies from UCL, where his thesis, supervised by Dr Brian Klaas, explored the political and legal factors behind differing approaches to the regulation of online content and digital platforms in the EU and the US. Dominik grew up and completed secondary education in Brno, Czech Republic.
