Mathematical interests

Applications of infinitary combinatorics and forcing to measure theory and Banach space theory.

My PhD advisor at the Institute of Mathematics of Polish Academy of Sciences was Prof. Piotr Koszmider.

Ongoing research projects

  1. with P. Borodulin-Nadzieja, Measures in the random model.
  2. with J. Rondoš, Complemented subspaces of C(K)-spaces.
  3. with T. Żuchowski, Forcings related to ideals and submeasures.
