Michał Tomza

Michał Tomza is a Full Professor, leader of the Quantum Molecular Systems research group, and head of the Center for Atomic Molecular and Optical Physics at the University of Warsaw. He specializes in the physics and chemistry of ultracold quantum matter, including the theory of interactions and collisions of ultracold atoms, ions, and molecules controlled with electromagnetic fields and their application in quantum science in close collaboration with experimental groups. He finished his PhD in quantum chemistry and theoretical physics in Warsaw, Poland, and in Kassel, Germany, in 2014. 

Next, he was a postdoctoral researcher in Vancouver, Canada, and in Barcelona, Spain. Since 2017, he has led his research group at the University of Warsaw. He has also done research as a visiting scientist at several institutions in Europe and the US. He won the ERC Starting Grant and National Science Center Award in Physical Sciences and Engineering and is a member of the Polish Young Academy.
