I'm Soil Scientist, Geographer, and Geologist. I did my Ph.D. at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow (2009) and got position at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences in 2012. My research interests are as follows:

i) soil-forming and weathering processes in technogenic soils (Technosols) developed from mine and industrial wastes

ii) mineral transformations in soils (e.g. clay mineral formation, sulphide transformations)

iii) soil micromorphology.

From 2013, I am the member of the Commission on Genesis, Classification and Cartography of Soils of the Polish Society of Soil Science. From 2015, I am the Secretary of the Polish Society of Soil Science and the Secretary of the Soil Science Annual journal (formerly Roczniki Gleboznawcze).
