about me

I am a professor at the Institute for the History of Science of the Polish Academy of Sciences since 2014. I have been an Andrew Mellon Fellow at the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Studies in Wassenaar in 2014–15, and Charles Price Fellow at the Chemical Heritage Foundation in Philadelphia in 2007–08. I have been the President of the International Committee for the History of Technology in 2017–21, and a member of SHOT Nominating Committee in 2021-23.

I am currently a project leader on an international research project entitled ‘Media and Epidemics: Technologies of Science Communication and Public Health in the 20th and 21st Centuries” (MEDEP), which is supported by the National Science Centre in Poland, UK Research and Innovation in the United Kingdom, and the Executive Agency for Higher Education, Research, Development and Innovation Funding in Romania, as part of the CHANSE ERA-NET Co-fund programme. I have previously been a principal investigator in two research projects funded by the Polish National Science Centre and one funded by the State Fund for the Rehabilitation of Disabled People. I have also taken part in a research project funded by the Dutch Foundation for the History of Technology (Making Europe), as well as another funded by the Czech Science Foundation (ExpertTurn). I have authored over 100 scholarly articles and three monographs (see below).
