A keen DIYer, wilderness enthusiast, Doctor of Earth Sciences. He took his first steps in science at the Faculty of Geographical and Geological Sciences of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. Later on, he also spent several months at the University of Luxembourg, the University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS) and the University of Oslo. Currently, he works at the Department of Polar and Marine Research of the Institute of Geophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences.

The activity that gives him more professional satisfaction than anything else is fieldwork, and his taste for harsh conditions means that he gladly does research and gets involved in projects carried out in mountainous regions and in the Far North, mainly in Spitsbergen. His love affair with this part of the world started in 2005. Since then, he has taken part in numerous fieldwork expeditions to the Arctic and twice overwintered at the Polish Polar Station Hornsund, including once as the expedition leader. He is also responsible for the programme of environmental monitoring conducted by the Station.

He enjoys new challenges, as a result of which in 2015 he spent a few months in India, where he gained personal experience of decidedly non-polar conditions while working at a local school as an IT teacher. Since 2017, he has actively participated in the efforts aimed at reviving the A.B. Dobrowolski Polish Antarctic Station. What usually helps him get out of trouble is his unshakeable faith in dynamic planning and a bright personality.

As the founder and president of forScience Foundation, he is responsible for formalities, reports and budgets. He is also a gold mine of ideas for new projects, which we hope will soon see the light of day.
