About Me
I am a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Martin Hairer at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. Previously, I was a postdoc at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań and Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig. I received my PhD in 2017 from the Jagiellonian University in Kraków.
Research interests
My present research focuses on the intersection between probability theory, PDE theory and Euclidean quantum field theory. I am especially interested in problems involving singular stochastic partial differential equations and renormalization. I have also a background in mathematical aspects of perturbative and axiomatic quantum field theory as well as general relativity.
