Biography
Degrees:
- 2014 Docent (Habilitation) in mineralogy, petrology and tectonics, Uppsala University, Sweden
- 2007 Ph. D. in petrology and geochemistry, AGH-University of Science and Technology, Kraków, Poland

Research
My research is primarily focused on collisional orogens, and especially petrochronological studies. Additionally, I am focusing on fluid-rock interactions in natural environments as well as in experimental setup aiming to develop new, green and innovative technologies for beneficiation of critical elements.
