My research primarily focuses on modified gravity, particularly on theories that introduce changes to the Einstein-Hilbert action by incorporating different dependencies on curvature invariants. Besides research, I am a Relativity Lecturer at the Faculty of Sciences at the National Autonomous University of Mexico and supervise three undergraduate students. I am also a member of the directive board of the Gravitation and Mathematical Physics Division of the Mexican Physical Society, and I serve as a tutor for the graduate program in Physical Sciences at UNAM. Together with my colleagues, we received an honourable mention from the Gravity Research Foundation in 2019 for an essay proposing a modified gravity theory.

My dissertation PhD thesis was on a novel mathematical formalism coined Topological Quantization. After that, I got several postdoctoral positions in Italy, Spain, and Mexico. During my postdoctoral time, I worked in Geometrothermodynamics, Hamiltonian of surfaces, Harmonic Maps, String Theory, and Holography. Since 2018, jointly with Luisa G. Jaime and José Edelstein, I developed a cosmological theory constructed by cubic contractions of curvature tensors that generalize the Cubic Einsteinian Gravity proposed two years before.
Soon after we were able to generalize the Einsteinian and cosmological properties to an infinite tower of Lagrangian densities constructed by higher curvature invariants, these theories were named Generalized Quasitopological Gravities, and Cosmological Generalized Quasitopological Gravity. It is worth mentioning that the theory, under the name of Geometric Inflation, won an Honorable Mention in the scientific essay contest of the Gravity Research Foundation in 2019. It is also noticeable that it has been demonstrated that the theory is unique for all spacetime dimensions D when it contains an FLRW solution.

I am Wojtek Hellwing, an experienced researcher with a huge fascination for exploring and solving scientific problems. My expertise covers computational cosmology, galaxy formation, and the large-scale structure of the Universe. I am also a dedicated teacher and science communicator. I particularly enjoy engaging with young researchers and inspiring them to pursue the scientific career. My current research activities focus on using cosmic velocity and density fields for testing General Relativity and alternative theories, and on structure formation on galaxy and sub-galaxy scales for studying the physical nature of dark matter. Finally, I really enjoy public outreach activities, where I can tell other people about my passion.
