About Me

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Computer Science Institute of Charles University in Prague, hosted by Pavel Veselý.

Before that I was a PhD student at the Institute of Computer Science, University of Wrocław, supervised by Przemysław Uznański and Tomasz Jurdziński.

I am broadly interested in Theoretical Computer Science. The main theme of my research work is usage of tools from continuous mathematics (algebra, analysis, probability) to design and analyze combinatorial algorithms. This approach can be applied in many different contexts and so far, I have obtained new results in the realm of graph algorithms, fine-grained complexity, parameterized complexity, cardinality estimation and searching with noisy advice.

Prior to my PhD studies I have obtained an M.Sc. in Computer Science and a B.Sc. in Joint Studies in Computer Science and Mathematics both from University of Wrocław. During my Masters I spent a semester in School of Computer and Communication Sciences at EPFL and a year at the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics, and Mechanics, University of Warsaw as an exchange student. I have also been a tech intern at Facebook and Google several times.
