Adjunct at the Department of European Studies at the Faculty of Political Science and Security Studies. Doctoral thesis defended in 2011. Author of publications in the field of European integration and security. Research interests focus on issues related to the decision-making processes and EU defense and security policy issues. I'm visiting the CEEs constantly. My ongoing and future-oriented goal is establishing research and trust-based links with partners in the Baltic States and the Visegrad States interested in joint research on NATO or CSDP, including issues like EDF and PSECO. Joint publication and applying for a joint research grant is my main task here. I’m also part of the newly created Centre for Global and Multilevel Governance at Nicolaus Copernicus University, funded by an NCU internal grant. The Centre gathers military and academic approaches to delivering research in fields dedicated to security, politics, and the economy.
