I graduated from the Physics Department of Warsaw University in 1991. In 1995 I did my PhD at the Copernicus Center. After that I spent three years at the Physics Department of the University of Durham (U.K.), where I collaborated with Chris Done. I've been back to Warsaw since returning from Durham. I obtained the "habilitacja" degree in 2002 (the colloqium took place on 13th December, Friday..).

I am interested in properties of compact accreting objects (white dwarfs, neutron stars, and my favorite black holes) and, in particular, high energy (X-ray) emission from them. Here is a description of my recent research.

Here are some links I find useful.

My list of publications: published (refereed journals only; from ADS) and recently submitted/in press (from arXiv e-print archive)
