Radim Lacina, Ph.D., serves as Assistant Professor at Masaryk University's Faculty of Arts with dual appointments in the Department of Czech Language and Department of Linguistics and Baltic Languages. His academic trajectory includes research positions at Osnabrück University and University of Potsdam prior to his current role. His educational foundation comprises a 2025 Ph.D. in Cognitive Science (magna cum laude) from Osnabrück University, where his dissertation examined scalar implicatures and focus processing. This followed a 2020 M.Sc. in Psychology of Language (With Distinction) from the University of Edinburgh and a 2019 B.A. in Psychology, Philosophy and Linguistics (First Class) from the University of Oxford.
