In my scientific work, I focus on explaining the unusual spectra of pulsars. My research has both observational and theoretical components. On the observational side, the team I work with has consistently received observing time on the uGMRT radio telescope for several years, and we also use data from the LOFAR network. Since I primarily observe pulsars with high dispersion measures, to avoid pulse smearing due to scattering, I mainly conduct my observations using interferometric techniques.
On the theoretical side, I study the free-free thermal absorption model in an inhomogeneous medium, which should adequately explain the shape of pulsar spectra where the peak radiation energy occurs around 1 GHz.
Below is an example of the spectrum of pulsar J1717-4054 with broadband measurements of flux density obtained through uGMRT observations, along with a fitted free-free absorption model in a homogeneous medium.
I am also involved in popular science work. From the 2016/2017 academic year, I ran an astronomy club at the Kepler Science Center - Venus Planetarium for primary school children. From the 2023/2024 academic year, I started running Young Explorers' Clubs also at the Kepler Science Center - Venus Planetarium.
Additionally, as a volunteer, I participated in the Prometeruse project, which in 2029/2020 involved helping high school students prepare scientific posters regarding local residents' knowledge about global warming. And in 2021/2022 and 2022/2023, it consisted in helping to find the answers to an interesting questions about climate change and in consultation of short video clips prepared by high school pupils.
I also visit primary schools with short lectures on the work of an astronomer and workshops on new developments. So far, I have prepared such meetings, among others, for: Zespół Edukacyjny w Przyborowie, Zespół Szkoły Podstawowej i Przedszkola w Belęcinie, Koło Naukowe "Czwartaki" ze
Szkoły Podstawowej im. St. Żeromskiego w Górzynie, szkoła Podstawowa nr 1 im. Henryka Sienkiewicza w Zielonej Górze.
