I am an assistant professor at Michigan Technological University. I have joined the Department of Chemistry in the fall of 2007. I came to the USA after receiving my Ph.D. degree in January 2004 and became a member of Professor Piotr Piecuch's research group at Michigan State University.

I graduated from the University of Silesia in Katowice (Poland), where I was a member of Professor Stanisław A. Kucharski's group. In Professor Kucharski's group I worked on implementing the full inclusion of the triple excitations into the equation of motion coupled cluster method. This was one of the first two implementations of EOMCCSDT ever. I continued to develop coupled cluster methods in Professor Piecuch's group focusing on new ideas such as the renormalized and open-shell coupled cluster theories and their multi-reference extensions. Using our own computer codes we did applications that range from small systems to large molecules (e.g. systems relevant to metalloenzymes), and we were also able to perform ab initio coupled cluster calculations for nuclei.

In Professor Piecuch's group, we have recently developed effcient, fully vectorized computer codes for completely renormalized coupled cluster methods based on the biorthogonal formulation of the method of moments of coupled cluster equations. We have also extended renormalized coupled cluster methods for excited states of open-shell systems. We have implemented our new codes in the GAMESS software package. This has allowed us to carry out large scale calculations for several important reaction mechanisms and systems consisting transition metal atoms relevant to study of oxygen activation by metalloenzymes. We are also working on an extremely interesting project in collaboration with Dr. David J. Dean and Dr. Thomas Papenbrock from Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Professor Morten Hjorth-Jensen from the University of Oslo in Norway, in which we have applied the standard and renormalized coupled cluster techniques to study ground-and excited-state energies and properties of nuclei.
