Scientific interest:

I am a University Professor at AGH University of Krakow, with a profound passion for materials science and solid-state chemistry. My academic journey began at Jagiellonian University, where my Master's thesis explored cobalt catalyst synthesis. This early work led me to AGH, where I completed my Ph.D. in 2004, delving into the kinetics and mechanisms of d-block oxalates decomposition.

Upon earning my doctorate, I expanded my research into materials for solid oxide fuel cells, gaining invaluable experience in electrochemistry and functional materials. This progressive path led to a significant milestone in 2014: a National Science Centre grant to investigate highly porous doped SrTiO₃ materials, which ignited my strong involvement with perovskite oxides. This culminated in my habilitation in 2018 and subsequent appointment as a University Professor in 2019.

Currently, my research is at the forefront of perovskite materials and composite systems, with a core focus on solid-state chemistry and understanding the intricate mechanisms of chemical reactions within solid and solid-gas environments. My contributions are reflected in 56 co-authored/authored publications on the JCR list. Beyond research, I am deeply committed to mentoring, having guided many master's students and successfully supervised one doctoral dissertation, with two more currently underway.
