Before commencing Ph.D. studies, I obtained masters degrees from Warsaw School of Economics and Tilburg University, where I was analyzing the phenomenon of the underpricing of initial public offerings at the Warsaw Stock Exchange. My non-academic experience includes a job in the Warsaw office of PricewaterhouseCoopers and the co-authorship of a strategic analysis of the Polish food and beverages industry for Commerzbank.

 
"I think Poland still needs a lot of rigorous empirical analysis of the effects of market reforms as well as a lot of policy research that may be of utmost importance for shaping the legal system. WISER is particularly well-designed to become a focal point for these research ideas."
