Between 2021 and 2024 I was an independent researcher at Karlsruher Institute für Technologie associated to the Topology group led by Roman Sauer.
I was an assistant professor at the Adam Mickiewicz University from 2014 until 2021.
The Mathematical Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences hosted me as visiting professor between 2015 and 2017, where I worked with Piotr Nowak on Kazhdan’s property (T).
Between 2019 and 2021 I was a postdoc in the MATH+ programm hosted at Technische Universität Berlin in the group of Michael Joswig, where I was working on machine learning aspects of polytope theory.
My research interests also include: geometric group theory (therefore: group actions), optimisation as well as symbolic and certified computation. Before, I used to work on topology of high-dimensional manifolds (surgery and equivariant surgery theory) and applied topology (persistence and others). An important part of my research has become programming – the effects may be found on github.

We prove that $\operatorname{Aut}(F_n)$ has Kazhdan’s property (T) for every $n \geqslant 6$. Together with the previous result of Kaluba, Nowak, and Ozawa, this gives the same statement for $n \geqslant 5$. We also provide new, explicit lower bounds for the Kazhdan constants of $\operatorname{SAut}(F_n)$ (with $n \geqslant 6$) and of $\operatorname{SL}_n(\mathbb{Z})$ (with $n \geqslant 3$) with respect to natural generating sets. In the latter case, these bounds improve upon previously known lower bounds whenever $n > 6$.
We prove that $\operatorname{Aut}(\mathbb{F}_5)$ has Kazhdan’s property (T).
