Owing to Richard Feynman saying in his Lectures
on Physics that central problems of mind and nervous system
remain unsolved, it was my dream in early student years to
become a neuroscientist. I graduated in Physics (1995) and
obtained a PhD in Biomedical Physics (2000) both at the
University of Warsaw. My two big career moves were a 3-year
postdoc at the Epilepsy Institute of
The Netherlands (SEIN) and a 1-year postdoc at the Department of Neurology, The
Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, USA.
These experiences shaped my research interests for years to
come. My pursuits focus on the problem of pathological brain
activity associated with epilepsy. I develop innovative
computational models
to reproduce and better understand signals observed in human
and experimental epilepsy. Because of high number of very
talented students and PhD students in our Department I’m
often engaged in various research projects, e.g., on sensory
processing, attention and meditation, in which understanding
the brain activities is the fundamental issue.
