Beyond the paper
Research is a
shared endeavour.
Alongside my research, I supervise PhD and MSc students and teach materials engineering, data analysis, and experimental design at Gdańsk University of Technology.
My work connects fundamental materials science with practical questions in energy technology, through national and European research collaborations.
