Expert in microelectronics, semiconductors, and technology transfer with over 15 years of R&D and strategic experience.

He began his scientific career at the Institute of Electron Technology (today Łukasiewicz – IMiF), where he defended his PhD in solid-state electronics, distinguished with the Prime Minister’s Award. For over a decade, he conducted research on oxide semiconductors and thin-film structures, participating in national and international R&D projects.

Between 2019 and 2023, he served, among other roles, as Deputy Director of the Department of Research and Innovation and as the President’s Plenipotentiary for Microelectronics Development at the Łukasiewicz Research Network headquarters. He was responsible for strategic initiatives aimed at building national capacity in semiconductor technologies. He initiated cooperation with partners from Taiwan and Belgium (ITRI, TSMC, IMEC). He took part in economic missions and bilateral intergovernmental negotiations, accompanying government delegations to Taiwan, focused on cooperation in GaN technologies and semiconductor supply chains.

He co-developed the concept for establishing a research and production facility for microelectronics in Macierzysz near Warsaw and contributed to launching the Microelectronics and Photonics Competence Centre – a €65 million infrastructure project financed under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (KPO).

Since 2021, he has been co-founder and CTO of two deep-tech startups: IQ Biozoom (non-invasive diagnostics using TFT biosensors) and IQ Window (functional window technologies for sustainable construction). He also heads the Innovation Incubator at the Warsaw University of Technology Innovation Centre, where he is responsible for technology transfer through indirect commercialization – creating and developing spin-off companies. His responsibilities include technology development and transfer strategy, building international consortia, securing funding for R&D activities, and implementing innovations in sectors such as healthcare, advanced functional materials, and security.

Author of over 30 scientific publications and 4 international patents (EU, USA, China, Poland).

He specializes in interdisciplinary projects in the fields of microelectronics, biosensors, functional materials, and innovation policy. Working at the interface of science, industry, and public administration, he supports the development of deep-tech in Poland, shortening the path “from lab to market.”
