Work Experience

Researcher, Ph.D. Student /
Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań
October 2020 - Current

Combining my background in law and mathematics, I’m currently focused on my PhD research, where I focus on evaluating forensic entomology evidence, particularly in estimating the age of insect traces. I’m also exploring ways to apply data science to legal challenges, using advanced analytics to improve the accuracy and reliability of legal processes.


Head of Technology /
SICSS-AMU/Law
Collaboration with Duke University
December 2021 - January 2025

Involved in the organisation of the entire event. The workshop part of the event focuses on the applications of large language models and natural language processing. I was responsible for designing the workshop program, supervising the teaching assistants, and coordinating the use of technology throughout the Summer Institute. My role ensures that all technical aspects are seamlessly integrated, contributing to the smooth and effective execution of the program.


Data Analyst /
Thermogenesis, feeding matrix and parental care in carrion beetle Necrodes littoralis L. (Silphidae): spatiotemporal patterns, determinants, mechanisms and fitness effects of heat production in the matrix
National Science Centre of Poland
March 2022 - March 2025

grant no.: 2021/41/B/NZ8/00474;
principal Investigator: prof. UAM dr hab. Szymon Matuszewski

I focus on analyzing and structuring data, transforming unstructured sources — such as thermal imaging — into structured formats. My role involves preparing visualisations, as well as proposing and implementing mathematical solutions to complex problems. When necessary, I also programmatically develop and apply these solutions to ensure the project’s success.

A hands-on journey into the essentials of saving lives, led by experienced instructors from MEDAID. This intensive course covered everything from assessing accident scenes and understanding injury mechanisms to life-saving skills like airway management, CPR, AED use, and trauma care. It went beyond physical first aid, touching on psychological support, dealing with aggressive victims, and the crucial importance of time in emergencies. More than just a training, it was a powerful reminder of how knowledge and calm action can truly make the difference.

Erasmus: New Ways of Thinking /
Dare 2 Succeed
April 2025

An inspiring adventure into the mind, held in the historic heart of Timișoara, Romania — a city where the echoes of Europe's struggle against communism still linger. These Erasmus workshops offered deep dives into emotional intelligence, cognitive flexibility, design and metaphorical thinking, as well as critical thought, biases, and logical fallacies. With brilliant trainers and an unforgettable group of participants, it was less of a course and more of a mind-expanding experience — one that blended psychology, creativity, and a powerful sense of place.
