In 1966 he graduated from university with diploma thesis “ Specific heat of Fe–Co alloys in the temperature range 1.4 to 4.2 K. He spent his one-year military service mainly at the Research and Test Centre of the Ministry of Defence in Brno.

He participated in experiments on the influence of 3He atoms on the superfluid state of 4He at 0.5 K. In 1972 he worked at the Aalto University of Helsinki in Prof. Olli Lounasmaa Low Temperature Laboratory in Otaniemi, Finland.

His main research interests concentrated on superfluid 3He, nuclear cooling, point-contact spectroscopy and cryogenic applications in ophthalmology, gynaecology and plastic surgery.

In 1982 he habilitated on thermal conductivity of Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu in the temperature range from 0.5 K to 10 K. Between 1984 and 1990 he worked at the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics of the Comenius University in Bratislava.

He took part in experiments using neutron beam to study nuclear recoil on Sn, Zn and Al nuclei conducted at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland.

In his scientific work at the Laboratory for High Energy Physics in Bern he studied phase transition in Sn, Zn, In, and Al granules and also Al- and In- microstructures using SQUID (Superconducting Quantum Interference Device).

Additionally he was deeply involved in the construction of cryostats with high vacuum systems for time projection chambers and design of so-called Argontube to study very long (a few meters) electron drifts in liquid argon.
