I did my PhD at the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Mechanics at University of Warsaw. My research concerns multi-agent systems and computational social choice. I am especially interested in multiwinner elections; for an introduction to this fascinating topic see this chapter.

I am interested in linking various ideas from game theory, resource allocation, approximation algorithms and computational social choice.

My previous reserach also concerned distributed systems and particularly scheduling and load balancing algorithms for distributed systems, resource allocation and applying game theoretical solutions to distributed systems.
