I am an Associate Professor at Janusz Gil Institute of Astronomy of the University of Zielona Góra in Poland. Before coming to Zielona Góra, I had been a research scientist at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD (USA).
I am a theoretical astrophysicist. Most of my research is on physics of compact objects and high energy astrophysical phenomena. I use both numerical and analytical methods in my research but especially enjoy developing new numerical techniques for solving complex astrophysical problems.
Astrophysical phenomena of interest include:
- Radiopulsars
- Magnetars
- Galactic microquasar SS433
- Galaxy clusters
- Jets from Active Galactic Nuclei
- Cosmic Infrared Background Radiation
- Gamma-Ray Bursts
Physical processes of interest include:
- Electron-positron cascades
- Plasma physics
- Force-Free magnetic fields
- Radiation processes in astrophysical plasma
- Radiation hydrodynamics
