ABOUT ME:

I’m a physicist, with degrees in physics (specialisation in medical physics), automation and robotics (mainly control theory) and soon mathematics (ROI: Kerr-Newman black holes and Lissajous curves) My interests vary from astrophysics, orbital dynamics, cosmology, mathematical physics, high energy physics, quantum mechanics, to biology and neuroscience. I just started my PhD in physics at the University of Rhode Island, where I’ll be tackling gravity and AGN research (radioastrophysics).

I work as a physicist at the Space Research Centre, Polish Academy of Sciences, where I'm a member of the Laboratory for Solar System Physics and Astrophysics: (http://pfusia.cbk.waw.pl/index.html), researching project GLOWS, which is a part of NASA's mission IMAP, IBEX: - https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2021/nasa-poland-sign-agreement-to-build-instrument-to-study-interplanetary-space

I’m a board member of Polish Astrobiology Society and I generally help to develop space industry, collaborating with POLSA, ESA, Princeton, JPL/NASA (and other establishments). I work as a consultant for Wolfram, developing astrophysical software. In the spare time I enjoy playing the piano/guitar, reading, plus I’m a huge animal lover.

Precious work: I wrote my first degree physics diploma titled: „Divertor heat flux measurement using thermographic systems in stellarator Wendelstein 7-X” at Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics at Greifswald, Germany doing research on plasma fusion reactor Wendelstein 7-X. My second degree diploma I did conducting research at GLOWS project and it's titled "Probability distributions of event fluxes observed within sky surveys by sampling experiments in space". My engineering thesis from automatics and robotics, which I was also researching at CBK PAN is titled "Attitude robust control system for an Earth observation satellite".

For quite a while, I was also an AOCS engineer at Creotech Instruments S.A where I helped to develop control systems for satellites: - https://creotech.pl/notice/polon/ - https://creotech.pl/notice/eagleeye-microsatellite-system/ And with mission planning.
