Marek Suchánek obtained his first doctoral degree in the Computer Science program at his home Department of Software Engineering of CTU Faculty of Informaton Technology (KSI), the second in the Applied Economics doctoral program at the Department of Management Information Systems of Faculty of Applied Economics of University of Antwerp. His supervisors during his doctoral studies were doc. Ing. Robert Pergl, Ph.D. from FIT CTU and Prof. Dr. Herwig Mannaert from FAE UA.
"It's a special and at the same time very pleasant feeling to be a pioneer and to show the way to other students. It was challenging in many ways, but it was definitely worth it. The result of my two-discipline PhD studies is a dissertation entitled Building a Gateway Ontology between Normalized Systems and Conceptual Models, which contributes to the research on evolvable software systems and links conceptual modeling with software implementation based on Normalized Systems Theory," says Marek Suchanek.

Marek Suchánek holds a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Information Systems and Management from Faculty of Information Technology of Czech Technical University in Prague. He is the deputy head and one of the founding members of the Centre for Conceptual Modelling and Implementation Research (CCMi). Currently, he is an assistant professor at KSI FIT CTU and is also significantly involved in teaching activities. He leads team-based undergraduate software projects and undergraduate and graduate theses. All his already published scientific articles have over 140 citations on scientifically recognized platforms (WoS, Scopus, Google Scholar).
The double degree program of FIT CTU and FAE UA is open to graduates not only from FIT CTU but also from other universities and faculties who will be accepted for doctoral studies at FIT CTU and whose research topic will link computer science with economics. We believe that this unique opportunity will appeal to other PhD students who will take advantage of the opportunity to obtain a double Ph.D. et PhD.
