——————————–

On 1.10.2008, I took up work as associate professor in the Department of European Law in the Institute of International Law of the University of Warsaw. On 21 February 2012, I was awarded post-doctoral degree in law in the Faculty of Law and Administration of the University of Warsaw on the basis of scientific achievements and post-doctoral dissertation: Executive power in the European Union system (Władza wykonawcza w systemie Unii Europejskiej), published in 2011 by the Publishing House of the University of Warsaw.

Following completion of doctoral studies in 2002, I wrote and defended doctoral dissertation entitled National parliaments in the European Union. Legal integration study (Parlamenty narodowe w Unii Europejskiej. Prawnoustrojowe studium integracji). I published the thesis in book form under the same title and received the 2nd prize in a competition organised by the Polish Academy of Science and the Foundation for European Law for the best publication in the area of European law in 2004.

Since that time, I have been teaching European law and public international law at the University of Wrocław, University of Warsaw and – as visiting professor –University of Marburg and University of Potsdam (Germany).

Between 2004 and 2008, I was assistant professor in the Department of Legal Sciences of the Willy Brandt Centre for German and European Studies of the University of Wrocław. It is a research centre where I ran numerous research programmes, also with partners from Germany. Between 2008 and 2013, I was assistant professor in the Department of European Law in the Faculty of Law and Administration at the University of Warsaw. In 2005-2006, I was assistant professor at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities (branch in Wrocław), where I taught constitutional, international and European law. Between 2012 and 2014, I held EU-funded lectures for students of intercultural integration at Collegium Civitas in Warsaw.

Since 2013, I have been professor in the Department of European Law at the University of Warsaw, which is my only workplace. Since that time, I have managed to put together a young research team, i.e. a group of Ph.D. students and graduates. Together, we have planned and developed various initiatives and research projects under my supervision and scientific guidance. Thanks to group and individual grants that we obtained we have built cooperation with different research centres in Poland and abroad and written books published by NOMOS under my editorship.

I specialise in institutional and material European law as well as constitutional law, with particular focus on the constitutional law of the German Federation, which results from the fact that I were on numerous scholarships in Germany and have a very good command of the German language. Since I was awarded doctoral degree in law, I have been granted may scholarships and taken part in numerous seminars and conferences (in Poland and abroad), at universities and third-level educational institutions in Poland, Austria, Germany, Lithuania, Belgium, Hungary, United Kingdom, Spain, Brazil, Italy, Japan, Singapore, and the USA. During that time, I wrote over 150 scientific articles, a number of monographs as well as over ten academic handbooks (editorship or co-authorship) and commentaries regarding European law. Furthermore, I edited a number of books on European and German topics. My publications are in Polish, German, Spanish and English.

Over the course of my professional work, I was awarded a number distinctions and scientific prizes. In 2001, I obtained my first research grant from the University of Wrocław in the 7th internal competition for the best research projects. In 2002, I obtained a grant from the then State Committee for Scientific Research for a research project The Role of national parliaments in the integration processes of the European Union. In 2004/2006/2007/2009, I was recognised by the Rector of the University of Warsaw and the Dean of the Faculty of Law and Administration of the University of Warsaw, and in 2012 and 2015 – by the Rector of the University of Warsaw – for scientific and educational achievements. Between 2006 and 2008, I was the head of the Socrates programme at the Willy Brandt Centre.

I carried out a number of large research projects at the University of Wrocław and the University of Warsaw, also in cooperation with external (Polish and foreign) centres (which I will describe in more detail below).

I belong to several scientific organizations and associations, these are: I-CON – Public Law Association; ILA (International Law Association), the Polish Group; YPIN (Young Polish International Network); Polish-German Parliamentary Society; Polish Association of European Law (PSPE); European Alumni Young Leaders, I am a member of the German-Polish Christian Democratic Quiritenkreis Association. In 2015, I joined the Legal Sciences Committee of the Polish Academy of Sciences, and also (2016) to the Program Council for the Precedential Affairs of the Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights and (2017) the Council of the Osiatyński Archive.

I know 3 foreign languages very well, ie: German, English and Italian.
