Brief
introduction: Specializes
in environmental engineering and environmental biotechnology at the University
of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, Poland. Research focuses on CO2 biosequestration, air purification technologies, and greenhouse gas emission
reduction, with particular emphasis on the use of microalgae, phytoplankton,
and aquatic biomass. Scientific work includes the valorization of marine and
organic biomass for renewable energy production, including biogas and
biomethane, as well as the integration of microalgal systems with anaerobic
digestion and waste-to-energy processes. Research interests also cover
wastewater and sewage sludge treatment, nutrient recovery, and optimization of
bioenergy systems within circular bioeconomy frameworks. Currently serves as
Director of the Institute of Environmental Engineering and Protection and is a
member of the Committee on Environmental Engineering of the Polish Academy of
Sciences.
