Due to Richard Feynman's observation in his
Lectures on
Physics that the central problems of the mind and nervous system
remain
unsolved, it was my dream in my early student years to become a
neuroscientist.
I graduated with a degree in Physics (1995) and obtained a PhD
in Biomedical
Physics (2000), both from the University of Warsaw. My two
significant career
moves were a three-year postdoc at the Epilepsy Institute of The
Netherlands
(SEIN) and a one-year postdoc at the Department of Neurology at
The Johns
Hopkins University School of Medicine in the USA. These
experiences shaped my
research interests for years to come. My work focuses on the
issue of
pathological brain activity associated with epilepsy. I develop
innovative
computational models to replicate and better understand the
signals observed in
human and experimental epilepsy. Because our department has many
talented
students and PhD candidates, I’m frequently involved in various
research
projects to understand brain activities related to sensory
processing, the
physiological effects of nature and meditation, and
consciousness.
