About myself - professional
Employment history:
from 16th June 2020 - Associate professor (with habilitation) at Gdansk University of Technology, Faculty of Electronics, Telecommunications and Informatics, Gdansk, Poland.
1st October 2017: Assistant Professor (Adiunkt) at Gdansk University of Technology, Faculty of Electronics, Telecommunications and Informatics, Gdansk, Poland.
April 2014 - October 2017: Researcher (Industrial PostDoc) at DTU Energy, managing and performing a project: "Improved materials for heat exchangers in waste-to-energy plants" project funded by Innovations Fonden, Denmark. Project is made in close collaboration with Babcock & Wilcox Vølund A/S, Danish SME company involved in waste-to-energy technology.
January 2012 - April 2014: PostDoc position at Technical University of Denmark, Department of Energy Conversion and Storage (former Risø National Laboratory for Sustainable Energy).
Short term traineeships during my PhD studies:
2011: 1 month stay at Technical University of Denmark, Riso National Laboratory (funded by Fundation for Polish Science within the START fellowship programme).
2010: 3 months stay at Nonmetallic Inorganic Materials Group, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Zurich, Switzerland (funded by the InterPhD student exchange programme of the Gdansk University of Technology).
2009: 4 months stay at Energy research Centre of the Netherlands, Petten, the Netherlands (funded by Erasmus and ECN funds).
Education:
2007-2011 : PhD studies at Gdansk University of Technology, Faculty of Electronics, Telecommunications and Informatics, Gdansk, Poland.
Ph.D. defended with distinction on 25th October 2011. Thesis title (translation from Polish) "Solid Oxide Fuel Cells with metallic interconnector", advisor: prof. Piotr Jasinski, opponents: prof. Piotr Tomczyk (external from AGH, Krakow), prof. Piotr Plotka (internal, ETI, GUT).
2002-2007 : MSc studies at Gdansk University of Technology, Faculty of Applied Physics and Mathematics, specialty of energy conversion.

Extended description:
I started MSc studied in Applied Physics, and from 2006 I have been involved in research in the broad ceramic science. Primarily I have been working with Solid Oxide Fuel Cells, other topics included ceramic gas sensors and a short episode on coatings for biomedical applications. I gained experience in ceramic processing and electrochemical evaluation. After defending MSc thesis I continued towards PhD under the same supervisor, prof. Piotr Jasinski. In my thesis I have been working on fabrication of metal supported SOFCs by novel methods, especially directed towards solution based low temperature methods (spin coating and spray pyrolysis).
In 2011 I spend one month on a traineeship funded by Foundation for Polish Science (allocated together with a FNP START prize for young researchers ) at the DTU Risø (formerly known as the National Laboratory for Sustainable Energy, it is worth mention that this institute was established by one of the most famous physicists, Niels Bohr) where I have been working primarily with Senior Scientist Lars Mikkelsen on protective coatings for SOFC interconnects. From the very beginning of 2012 I started working there as a PostDoc in a group of Mixed Conductors led by prof. Peter Vang Hendriksen. In 2015 I advanced to a Researcher position. I had the opportunity to work with some of the best people in the SOFC community (my closest coworkers included: Dr Ming Chen, Dr Nikolaos Bonanos, Prof Peter V. Hendriksen, plus many many more that I do not have space to mention). It's really an amazing place to work. In October 2017 I came back to Gdansk University of Technology, where I will try to implement all I learnt in order to further develop myself and start a new research group over time.
