Hello, my name is Vojtěch Witzany and I am a physicist working on the theory and phenomenology of black holes. I am based at the Institute of Theoretical Physics at Charles University in Prague, where I lead a small research team supported by the Primus and GAČR grants.

My research centres on extreme mass ratio inspirals (EMRIs) — systems where a compact object spirals into a massive black hole, emitting gravitational waves detectable by the future space-based detector LISA. I also work on the broader theory of spinning bodies in curved spacetime, accretion disk theory, and the multi-messenger phenomenology of quasi-periodic X-ray eruptions in galactic nuclei.
