Drodzy Panstwo! To jest moja nieco zaniedbana strona internetowa. Mimo, ze niektore informacje nie byly od bardzo dawna uaktualniane, to inne sa swieze, tak ze mam nadzieje, ze cos Panstwu powie o tym, co robie. Zapraszam takze do obejrzenia wywiadu w TVN24 na tematy smolenskie i starszej audycji polskojezycznej o fraktalach w programie kanadyjskiej stacji TV OMNI w formacie AVI, ponizej.

Being a theoretical physicist/astrophysicist, I enjoy doing some

but often have to do or . All those are fun!

I also think about my colleagues' observations, for instance those by HST of
    
the beautiful disk of Beta Pictoris.

I study the birth and evolution of binary stars and planetary systems, dynamics of astrophysical disks, physics of circumstellar dust, with occasional diversions to binary black holes and AGNs. I was leading a group studying theory of planetary pystems in Stockholm. I co-edited the journal Planetary and Space Science. An International Evaluation of Swedish Astronomy and Astrophysics (Oct. 2000)  summarized the areas of my research program and evaluated it. I was the most cited astronomer in Stockholm (1994-2004).

I am a tenured full professor of Physics and Astroph. at the University of Toronto. I split my time between the Dept of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the St. George (downtown) campus, and Department of Physical and Env. Sciences of UTSC (U of T at Scarborough).
