My scientific interests include complex systems, deterministic and stochastic cellular automata, discrete integrable systems, and the mathematical modeling of various physical and geophysical phenomena. My research combines the perspectives of a physicist (PhD in Physics, University of Warsaw, 2004), a mathematician (JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowship, Graduate School of Mathematical Sciences, The University of Tokyo, 2005–2007), and a geophysicist (habilitation in Geophysics, Institute of Geophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences, 2013).
