About me
I am an observational cosmologist. I study the large-scale structure of the Universe and its luminous tracers - galaxies. I am interested in how matter clusters on the largest cosmic scales and how this affects the propagation of light originating both from galaxies and from the earliest epochs of the Universe, visible today as the cosmic microwave background.
I work with wide-angle catalogs of galaxies and use various computer science techniques, such as machine learning, both to identify the galaxies, and to estimate their distances via the so-called photometric redshifts.
I am a member of a number of observational projects, including the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS), the Galaxy And Mass Assembly survey (GAMA), the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR), or Evolutionary Map of the Universe (EMU). I also work with the Polish consortium of the Vera Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) and within two planned surveys of the 4-metre Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope (4MOST): WAVES oraz 4HS. I am also in the gravitational wave collaboration LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA.
At the Center for Theoretical Physics I am co-leading the Computational Cosmology Group. I am also the Principal Investigator of the project "PACIS: Precision and Accuracy for Cosmological Imaging Surveys" funded by the Polish National Science Centre (NCN) within the Sonata-Bis scheme.
Masters projects and internships
Please contact me if you are interested in an undergraduate project under my supervision. I can offer masters, bachelors, as well as short-term ones, e.g. summer internships.
