  5. AstroCent (particle astrophysics), Funding agency: FNP, role: Post-doctoral research, topic: detection of gravitational waves using seismic sensors, year: 2021 - , host: Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical Center, Polish Academy of Sciences.

Preferowana tematyka dyplomowania 

I'm open to a wide range of subjects but within the scope of fluid mechanics.  

I am also interested in topics related to the application of scientific computing in different areas of fluid mechanics (Low Reynolds number flow, Hydrodynamic Stability) for the current subject of diploma for students.

I prefer to set the diploma topic together with the student after appropriate consultation. This allows you to define a task that is of interest to students.
