I am a researcher in Analytical Chemistry interested primarily in measuring volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the air, both indoor and outdoor, and in quantifying the emissions from different products and processes. I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Atmospheric Chemistry Group at the University of Oslo and an Assistant Professor at the Department of Analytical Chemistry at the Gdańsk University of Technology.

My research interests include the use of proton transfer reaction time-of-flight mass spectrometry (PTR-ToF-MS) and multivariate statistical analysis. I am also enthusiastic about scientific visualisation.
