In high school I was good at maths, physics, chemistry, and computers. For a long time, I was considering being in IT and getting an engineering degree. But then I read ‘A Brief History of Time’ and I got excited, so I decided to go into physics. I\u2019m excited about the idea of building a liquid-argon detector for DUNE. It\u2019s a new and exciting technology to see neutrino interactions with much more precision. And it\u2019s still developing, so you can tweak it to make it better, which is what I am working on.<\/p>\n

In the past I loved to travel, to visit new cities and new places. I am originally from Krakow. When I was in high school, I had a teacher who would take students on trips to places like North Africa, Israel, and Palestine and stay there for a month. I got to go to Ireland and we traveled around the country there in a bus and slept in tents. Then, as an undergraduate I hitch-hiked all the way to Spain, which didn’t work all that well but was a fun experience. I’ve lived in Italy, the US, and now in the UK. These days, I tend to travel a bit less, and instead I love to spend time with my son.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/div>\n
