Currently I'm a Datastore Research Engineer at Pathway.com

Before, I was:

- a postdoc at BARC, at University of Copenhagen , hosted by Mikkel Thorup;

- a PhD student at Institute of Computer Science, at University of Wrocław, under the supervision of Tomasz Jurdziński.


My main area of interests are parallel and distributed algorithms, as well as algorithms for large data sets.

Research projects:

  • I was a member of a research group led by Tomasz Jurdziński, working on a project 'Design and Analysis of Scalable Algorithms for Wireless Networks' funded by NCN OPUS grant number DEC-2012/07/B/ST6/01534

  • I was a member of a research group led by Tomasz Jurdziński, working on a project 'Design of Distributed Algorithms in Highly Congested Networks' funded by NCN OPUS grant number 2017/25/B/ST6/02010

  • I was a principle investigator in a project 'Graph algorithms in various models of parallel and distributed computing' funded by NCN ETIUDA grant number 2019/32/T/ST6/00566 that funded my 6 month doctoral internship in the group of prof. M. Ghaffari at ETH,

Awards / Other Funding

  • In November 2018 I was awarded by the city / president of Wrocław with Hugo Steinhaus scholarship for PhD students

  • In May 2020 I got a START scholarship funded by the Foundation for Polish Science.

  • In 2020 I was awarded Witold Lipski prize [see details(in polish)].

  • In 2022 I was awarded Prime Minister [of Poland] Prize for the best PhD theses.


Name collisions:

So far I was mistaken for:

- dr Krzysztof Nowicki from Faculty of Law, Administration and Economics at the University of Wroclaw.

- prof. Krzysztof Nowicki from Department of Statistics at the Lund University.
