PhD student at Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical Center (NCAC) of Polish Academy of Science (PAS)
I'm working under a supervision of Prof. Marek Sikora on jets in active galactic nuclei. Our study focuses on their geometrical structure, energy dissipation mechanisms and non-thermal radiation processes. Currently we study structures called reconfinement shocks.
