2013-2016 Veduci projektu VEGA 1/0555/13 - Klátovská skupina gemerika: relikt staropaleozoickej spodnej kontinentálnej kôry exhumovanej vo variskom orogéne? Výsledky získané počas riešenia projektu podporujú ideu, že klátovská skupina bola naozaj pôvodne súčasťou spodnej kontinentálnej kôry. hoci v súčasnej forme reprezentuje čiastočne migmatitizovaný a viacštádijne metamorfovaný komplex so silnými prejavmi retrogresie, zachovali sa v ňom horniny primárne predstavujúce vysokoteplotné dvojpyroxénové granulity a eklogity. Litologicky pozostáva z dvoch jednotiek: (1) amfibolitovej (pôvodne gabroidy) a (2) migmatitovej s enklávami ultramafických a mafických hornín. Predstavuje protolit ordovického veku, ktorý podľahol metamorfóze počas devónskeho riftingu a po variskej orogenéze bol už vo vrchnom karbóne súčasť materiálu konglomerátov.                                                                                                                                                                        2013-2016 Pricipal investigator - project VEGA 1/0555/13 - The Klátov Group of the Gemeric Superunit: a relic of the Early Palaeozoic lower continental crust exhumed during the Variscan Orogeny? Obtained results support an idea, that the Klátov Group was originally formed as a part of lower continental crust. Although it represents in present-day form a multistage metamorphosed complex with strong retrogression, relics of two pyroxene granulites and eclogites, both strongly amphibolitized, are still present. The Klátov Group is composed of two units of different lithology: (1) amphibolite unit (originally gabbroids) and (2) migmatitic unit with enclaves of mafic and ultramafic rocks. The Klátov Group is an integral part of the Gemeric Superunit and is represented by the Ordovician protolith, which was metamorphosed and migmatitized during the Devonian rifting and soon after the Variscan Orogeny, in the Upper Carboniferous, it appeared in the clastic material of conglomerates.                                                                                                 

2017-2020 riešiteľ - projekt VEGA 1/0085/17 - Štruktúrne vzťahy a tektonometamorfná evolúcia meliatika, silicika a turnaika. Skúmaná bola litologická náplň a metamorfná evolúcia vysokotlakovo metamorfovaného príkrovu Bôrky. Bolo zistené, že ide o zložený príkrov, na stavbe ktorého sa podieľajú čiastkové jednotky staropaleozoického, permského a mezozoického veku. Tieto jednotky sa líšia svojou tektonickou pozíciou, litológiou aj metamorfnou evolúciou. Charakter ofiolitovej melánže majú len jednotky mezozoického veku. Metavulkanity, tvoriace enklávy v tejto melánži, majú len sčasti charakter hornín oceánskeho dna, vyskytujú sa aj horniny s afinitou k vulkanickým oblúkom.                                                                                                                                                             2017-2020 investigator - project VEGA 1/0085/17 Structural relationships and tectonometamorphic evolution of the Meliatic, Turnaic and Silicic units. Lithology and metamorphic evolution of the HP/LT metamorphosed Bôrka nappe have been studied in the framework of this project. It has been found, that the Bôrka nappe is a composite nappe comprises several partial units the Eatly Palaeozoic, Permian and Mesozoic in age, which also differ in tectonic position, lithology or metamorphic evolution. Only Mesozoic units are represented by the metamorphosed ophiolite mélange, where metavolcanic rocks forming enclaves partly belong to the rocks originated on the ocean floor, other rocks display affinity to volcanic arcs.

V rámci projektu je skúmaná litológia, zloženie magmatických a sedimentárnych hornín ako aj metamorfná evolúcia jednotlivých čiastkových jednotiek meliatika s cieľom rekonštruovať ich geologickú evolúciu geodynamické prostredie vzniku a paleogeografické pomery počas ranoalpínskej etapy vývoja Západných Karpát.                                    2018-2022 investigator - project APVV-17-0170 Early Alpidic tectonic evolution and palaeogeography of the Western Carpathians. In the framework of this project lithology, magmatic and sedimetary rocks compositions and metamorphic evolution of individual partial units of the Meliatic Superunit are investigated with principial aim to reconstruct their geological evolution, geodynamic setting and palaeogeographic relations during the Paleo-Alpine stage of the Western Carpathian history.
