Oldrich Hungr
I was born in Prague, Czechoslovakia and immigrated to Canada in 1969, at the age of 21. I completed my studies and worked as a Geotechnical Engineer in Ottawa, Toronto, Edmonton and Vancouver. Since 1996 I have been teaching in the Geological Engineering Program at UBC and doing research specializing in landslide hazards. UBC is a fantastic place to work and I have made more friends among staff and students than I can count!
