I was born in Gliwice (Poland) in 1962. I obtained my MSc degree in Nuclear Engineering in 1987 from Silesian Technical University (Poland). I was employed in the Institute of Atomic Energy (IEA, Otwock, Poland) from 1989 till 1992, performing thermal-hydraulic analyses of VVER-440 and VVER-1000 reactors with RELAP4/RELAP5 codes. From 1992 till 1998 I worked at KEMA Nuclear (Arnhem, the Netherlands) performing thermal-hydraulic analyses with RELAP5, TRAC and severe accident analyses with MAAP and MELCOR. From 1989 till now I work in NRG, Nuclear Research & Consultancy Group, Arnhem, The Netherlands. My detailed experience record is shown in Curriculum Vitae. In 1986 I started working on my PhD work. It was finished in 2001. Since 2019 I also work in the new start-up company designing a new type of a Molten Salt Reactor.
