Summary

 

Summary

I am a postdoctoral researcher currently working on inverse modelling of pollution in urban river networks, together with Dr. Gareth G. Roberts (Dep. of Earth Science & Engineering), Dr. Leon Barron (Imperial School of Public Health) and Dr. Alex G. Lipp (University of Oxford).

Before, I did my PhD at Imperial under supervision of Prof. Joanna Morgan and Dr. Michele Paulatto. It resulted in high-resolution 3D images of the Kolumbo magmatic system, offshore Santorini (Greece), as well as open-source numerical modelling and data-processing software. The project was a part of an international collaboration called PROTEUS, led by Prof. Emilie Hooft from the University of Oregon. I was associated with Prof. Mike Warner’s full-waveform inversion group which applies elastic-wave imaging to a variety of industrial, academic and medical problems.


Academic Bio

I hold a PhD from Imperial College as well as degrees in pure geology and physics from the College of Inter-Faculty Individual Studies in Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Warsaw:

2021: PhD in Geophysics (computational seismology).

2017: MSc in Physics (geophysics).

2015: BSc in Physics (nuclear physics).

2014: BSc in Geology (structural geology).

My Google Scholar profile is available here.

Areas of research

My research has been focused on inverse problems, numerical simulations, magmatic systems, the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary (LAB), and diffusion of exotic atomic nuclei.
