Institute of Nuclear Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences, Krakow
In 1984, he obtained a master’s degree in physics from the Jagiellonian University. Since 1986, he has been working at the Institute of Nuclear Physics in Kraków (then IFJ, now the Henryk Niewodniczański Institute of Nuclear Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences – IFJ PAN), where he earned his PhD in 1994 and habilitation in 2004. He was awarded the title of professor of physics in 2012.
Since 2004, he has been the head of the Department of Nuclear Physicochemistry at IFJ PAN. He has been a long-time member of the Scientific Councils of IFJ PAN and ING PAN, one of Poland’s representatives in the OECD Nuclear Safety Commission, and in 2011, he served as an IAEA expert on a mission to Kuwait. He is also a member of the Physics Committee of the Polish Academy of Sciences (PAN).
His research focuses on experimental nuclear physics and radiochemistry, particularly on the applications of gamma, beta, and alpha radiation spectrometry, as well as radiochemical analytical methods in environmental radioactivity studies and radioecology. He has supervised 11 PhD students and is the author or co-author of over 150 scientific publications, cited more than 4,500 times.
