• – Full-time specialist at the Department of Theoretical and Experimental Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Brno University of Technology

1993 – Deputy director at the Centre for the Modelling and Optimisation of Fields in Electromechanical Systems, a joint project of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and the company ABB EJF a.s., Brno

1999 – Doctoral degree completion (Ph.D.) at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Science, Brno University of

Technology; defence of doctoral thesis titled "Modelling of Current Transformers with Short Circuit Tests"

2003 – Director of the Department of Theoretical and Experimental Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Communication, Brno University of Technology

2005- Defence of inaugural dissertation titled "Modelling and Design of a Power Pulse Source" 2014- full proffesor in Theoretical and Electrical Engineering

Research in numerical modelling peformed by means of the boundary element method and the finite element method (19862003); realisation and application of coupled models within the FEM and FEM/FLM methods, motion models related to free particles bound to macroscopic models, methods of image processing, noise spectroscopy methods, and optoelectronic measurement techniques.

Research in the high-voltage range of heavy-current electrical engineering, mainly within the field of electrical faults and discharges (1988-1990). Modelling of non-linear characteristics of materials (1992-1996); modelling, analysis and optimisation of coupled electromagnetic/thermal/mechanical problems connected with models formulated using concentric parameters (19922003); modelling of problems with turbulent flow and an electromagnetic field influenced by chemical composition of materials (2000-2003). Dr. Fiala has built and tested several efficient algorithms for the optimisation of non-trivial problems (1996-now) . Furthermore, he has practiced the modelling and measurement of non-linear material properties – hysteresis (1991-1993), and proposed or realised the design and modelling of power pulse sources (2001-2008 PROTOTYPA a.s.) and power microwave generators (2002-2008 PROTOTYPA a.s, Tesla Vršovice, Institute of Plasma Physics, Academy of Sciences of the CR, Praha). Number of research projects with industrial founding - more then 100, prototypes more then 40, national patents 10, international patents 40.

Project solution – long-time cooperation with ABB EJF s.r.o Brno (1986-now), ELEN Brno 1998, FISCHER- design and analysis of an HV instrument transformer, ELIS s.r.o Brno- design of an atypical induction flowmeter (DN-1000, 2001), PROTOTYPA a.s. Brno – collaboration on the solution of industrial grant programme FD-K/042 “Power Microwave Generators “ (2001-2003), collaboration on programme FT-TA/028 ”Technology of Non-lethal Defence Instruments” (2004-2008), co-solution of project "GENVLN" MO VOP026 s.p. Šternberk (Military Repair Service Facility, Šternberk), a division of the Military Technical Institute of Ground Forces in Vyškov (2006-2008). In addition to participating in numerous other projects, Dr. Fiala has co-authored dozens of instrument transformer designs introduced into production by the ABB EJF Brno, ABB s.r.o. Brno companies. He is the solver of project MPO TIP and co-recipient of grants FR TI1/001 “Research and Development of Discharge Activity Detection in Oil-filled Power Transformers“ (2009-2013), FR-TI1/368 “Diagnostics of Fast-moving Objects for Security Tests“ (2009-2012), WIreles SEnsins- WISE, EU 6.FP (2005-2008), GAČR 102/09/0314 Investigation of Metamaterial Properties and Microwave Structures Utilising Noise Spectroscopy and Magnetic Resonance, GAČR 13-09086S An Investigation of Artificial Electromagnetic Materials and Metamaterials with Applied Numerical and Imaging Methods (2013-2016), International project ENIAC-2012-1 – DeNeCoR - Devices for NeuroControl and NeuroRehabilitation (Project nr 324257, 06.2013-06.2016), GAČR 17-00607S Complex Artificial Electromagnetic Structures and Nanostructures (2017-2020), Interdisciplinary research wireless technology – LO1401 (2015-2019, INWITE), Research of wireless transfr data for flowmeter and heat registers with nets LPWAN – project OP PIK, CZ.01.1.02/0.0/0.0/17_107/0012319 (2018-2020).

Dr. Fiala is a member of the SPIE, APS, IEEE, IEE, OSA, The Electromagnetic Academy, Cambridge, USA (since 2007) and a reviewer of the IEEE Sensors Journal, PIER, PIER&JEMWA USA Cambridge, MDPI, ELSEVIER, SPIE, OSA, APL
