My scientific interests:

In general, computer simulations and theoretical description of interfacial processes, mainly the processes in/at biological membranes.

  • properties of phospholipid membranes and modified phospholipid membranes
  • computer simulations and theoretical description of interfacial processes
  • behavior of ions in bulk and on surface of water
  • dynamics of chemical reactions on inhomogeneous surfaces
  • influence of surface nanostructure on surface processes
  • development of simulation methods

Computational methods and tools:

  • molecular dynamics, both empirical and ab-initio
  • quantum chemical methods
  • Monte Carlo and Dynamic Monte Carlo
  • simulations/computational code development (C++, Python)

Education:

  • 2012: DSc (habilitation) at the J. Haber Institute of Catalysis and Surface Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences, Krakow, Poland
  • 2001-2005: PhD at the Department of Theoretical Chemistry, Faculty of Chemistry, Jagiellonian Uniersity, Krakow, Poland
  • 1996-2001: MSc at the Department of Theoretical Chemistry, Faculty of Chemistry, Jagiellonian Uniersity, Krakow, Poland

Professional experience:

  • postdoctoral position at The Fritz Haber Research Center for Molecular Dynamics, Institute of Chemistry, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel; in the group of Prof. Victoria Buch (2007-2009)
  • postdoctoral position at The Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic and at Center for Biomolecules and Complex Molecular Systems, Prague, Czech Republic; in the group of Prof. Pavel Jungwirth (2005-2007)
