I am an Assistant Professor in the Chair of Microeconomics at the Faculty of Economics Sciences, University of Warsaw, Poland. [Oct & Nov 2025 visiting at Lund University, Sweden]
I have experience in both qualitative and quantitative research. My work includes, among others, designing and conducting surveys and economic experiments, analyzing data, and studying decision-making processes and market interactions.
Majority of my research focuses on Behavioral and Experimental Economics, in particular on individual decision-making, preferences, rationality, and cognitive biases. I conduct laboratory, field and online experiments. (At our faculty, we have an experimental lab and access to a large, heterogeneous subject pool. Feel free to contact me if you are interested in potential collaborations!)
I am also passionate about teaching and making knowledge more accessible. I have taught various bachelor's courses in Microeconomics, both in-person and online, covering topics such as consumer and producer theory, game theory, auctions, public goods, welfare, or externalities.
In September 2024, I defended my Ph.D. in Experimental and Behavioral Economics. My doctoral studies were part of an interdisciplinary program in Quantitative Psychology and Economics, jointly organized by the Faculty of Economic Sciences, the Faculty of Psychology, and the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Mechanics at the University of Warsaw.
My thesis, titled "Individual decision-making under risk. Evidence from economic experiments", was supervised by Professor Michał Krawczyk and Dr. Katarzyna Sekścińska.

I study microeconomics from two angles. On one hand, I study economic behavior – how people make choices, form preferences, and where their decisions deviate from rationality due to cognitive biases, especially in the context of risk and uncertainty. I explore how behavioral factors shape decisions related to consumption, environment, health, urban mobility or retirement. To better understand these mechanisms, I conduct surveys and economic experiments (in the laboratory, online and in the field).
On the other hand, I analyze how markets function and how competition shapes economic outcomes. Following Adam Smith’s insight, self-interest and competition are key drivers of economic growth, but inequalities and the concentration of economic power can distort market mechanisms and allow certain economic actors to exert excessive influence over policy. I focus on cases where market equilibrium is disrupted, often leading to inefficiencies and outcomes that go against the public interest.
