I am an applied mathematician at the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Mechanics of the University of Warsaw. Starting from October 2026 I will hold there the position of Samuel Eilenberg Assistant Professor. Currently, I am a postdoc working in two research projects: one led by Błażej Miasojedow and the other by Iwona Chlebicka.
I completed my PhD in Warsaw, advised by Tomasz Lewiński and Piotr Rybka. My thesis concerned the optimal design of engineering structures. My mathematical perspective on this topic has been shaped by the works of Guy Bouchitté, a dear collaborator of mine ever since before my defense.
In my dissertation, I touched the Monge-Kantorovich optimal transport problem. I had the opportunity to pursue this research direction during my 2-year postdoc at the Lagrange Mathematics and Computing Research Center in Paris, where I was a part of the project led by Guillaume Carlier, Alessio Figalli, Quentin Mérigot, and Filippo Santambrogio.
My path started not with mathematics but engineering. I have studied at the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Warsaw University of Technology where I carried on as a teaching/research assistant. In that period, I was lucky to have Tomasz Lewiński for a mentor. His exceptional approach to the theory of structural mechanics sparked my quest for mathematical rigour. The mechanical intuition I have acquired pays dividends – it continues to be my source of inspiration for new mathematics.
