Marek Krčál

Czech mathematician and deep-learning engineer. As a student he represented the Czech Republic at the 44th International Mathematical Olympiad (Tokyo, 2003), earning an honourable mention with 9 points. He later did a doctorate in computational topology at Charles University and worked as a deep-learning engineer in Prague, at Avast Software and then at Rossum (document AI).

• Represented the Czech Republic at IMO 2003 in Tokyo, scoring 9 points (rank 269, 41.4%) and earning an honourable mention — the only non-medal Czech HM-holder that year alongside teammates Jan Moláček, Jaromír Kuben and Pavel Kocourek; the result anchors an early mathematical talent later applied to deep learning.Jul 2003
• Works on deep learning at Rossum (document AI) in Prague, following a deep-learning role at Avast Software — a pivot from academic topology into applied ML/product engineering.2018
• Co-authored 'Computing all maps into a sphere' (J. ACM 2014) with Martin Čadek, Jiří Matoušek, Francis Sergeraert, Lukáš Vokřínek and Uli Wagner — placing him in the Prague computational-topology school around Matoušek before he moved into industry deep learning.May 2014
