Profile: Research Scientist (Ph.D. 1998) and Civil Engineer with significant background in numerical modelling (finite element method) of industrial processes, structures, constitutive modelling of complex materials of nonlinear behaviour, coupled problems (for example – thermo-mechanical, thermo-fluid, agent based) and applied mathematics;

Education and Training: 1976-1980, M.Sc in Civil Engineering, Warsaw University of Technology, Warsaw, Poland major: engineering structures, theory of structures 1989-1993, post-graduate study in Institute for Fundamental Technological Research, Polish Academy of Sciences, 1997 Ph.D., Institute of Fundamental Technological Research, Polish Academy of Sciences

Currently – from October 2010 – Assistant Professor, Institute of Fundamental Technological Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Department of Computational Science, Warsaw, Poland. My current interests are modelling of TFBARS, dislocations in crystals, coupled agent-stress models applied to tissue. I am involved in forming of a computer centre “Biocentrum Ochota”.
