Piotr Wcisło

Bio

Prof. Piotr Wcisło, DSc, PhD is an atomic physicist and a graduate of the Interdisciplinary Individual Studies in Mathematics and Natural Sciences at Jagiellonian University, specializing in atomic physics. He obtained his PhD from Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Poland, where he has been working since 2015. His research experience includes fellowships and research visits at leading scientific institutions, including the Harvard- Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in the United States, JILA (the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics, jointly operated by the University of Colorado Boulder and the National Institute of Standards and Technology), and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. He has received numerous awards and distinctions, including the Stanisław Pieńkowski Award (2015), the Polish Physical Society Award (2012), the Prime Minister’s Award for an outstanding doctoral dissertation (2016), and the Minister of Science Award (2016 and 2017). He has also received the START scholarship from the Foundation for Polish Science, a scholarship from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education for outstanding young scientists, and an award from the National Science Centre, Poland. His research has been supported by several National Science Centre grants, including SONATA, two OPUS projects, PRELUDIUM BIS, and SONATA BIS, as well as the prestigious ERC Starting Grant. His research focuses on ultra-precise molecular spectroscopy, precision measurements of the properties of the simplest atomic and molecular systems, and tests of fundamental laws of physics. Prof. Wcisło also develops novel methods for searching for dark matter, including those based on optical atomic clocks. His work aims to test quantum theory and search for possible manifestations of physics beyond the Standard Model, potentially paving the way for groundbreaking discoveries in the natural sciences.
