JAGIELLONIAN UNIVERSITY IN KRAKÓW
The Jagiellonian University is the oldest higher education institution in Poland and one of the oldest in Europe. It was founded on 12 May 1364 by the Polish king Casimir the Great.
Since its very beginning, the Jagiellonian University has been an international institution. Poles, Ruthenians, Lithuanians, Hungarians, Germans, Czechs, the Swiss, the English, the Dutch, the French the Spanish, Italians, and even Tatars studied here in the old days.
Some of the Jagiellonian University students and academics have been major historical figures, including world famous scholars, such as Nicolaus Copernicus, Karol Olszewski, Bronisław Malinowski, Wisława Szymborska – Nobel Prize winner in literature in 1996, as well as Karol Wojtyła, the future Pope John Paul II.
Today, the Jagiellonian University comprises 16 Faculties, where nearly 4 thousand academic staff conduct research and provide education to over 40 thousand students, within the framework of more than 80 different fields of study. The eminent researchers and state-of-the-art infrastructure make the Jagiellonian University one of the leading Polish scientific institutions, collaborating with major academic centres from all over the world. The Jagiellonian University is also home to about 150 student societies, where young researchers pursue their academic interests and develop friendships with people who share their passion.
The university's prestige in both Poland and abroad is illustrated by its widely recognized research achievements. The scientists and physicians from the Medical College carry out pioneer studies, e.g. in cardiac surgery, urology and neurology, often leading to the development of novel treatment methods. Their findings have been published in some of the most prestigious international journals, for instance European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Medicine, New England Journal of Medicine, and Lancet. The archaeologists explore the secrets of ancient sites in various parts of the world, including Egypt, Cyprus, Central America, South Asia and Altay. The astronomers take part in the most important international projects in their field, including H.E.S.S. and VIPERS, whereas the results of research by biologists and biotechnologists have been published in such reputable specialist journals as Nature, Bioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry, Molecular Ecology Resources or European Journal of Human Genetics. These are only some examples of remarkable successes for which the Jagiellonian University has been famous in recent years. Additionally, the University was also recognized by the international databases Web of Science and Elsevier Scopus as possessing the most prolific researchers in Poland, publishing the most academic papers. In 2018, it was the only Polish and Eastern European higher education institution in Reuter’s Top 100: Europe’s Most Innovative Universities ranking.
The most unique large-scale projects run by the Jagiellonian University include the Jagiellonian Centre for Experimental Therapeutics, Małopolska Centre for Biotechnology, Centre for Medical Genomics OMICRON, and National Synchrotron Radiation Centre SOLARIS.
Yet another advantage of the Jagiellonian University is its location in the historic city of Kraków, the former capital of Poland and a great cultural centre, visited by millions of tourists. Some of the University buildings are major historical sites themselves.

Main research field: Mathematics, topological dynamics and ergodic theory
Significant achievements:
The mathematical result I am the most proud of to date relates to the problem of determining Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy of ergodic, nonuniformly hyperbolic measures invariant for diffeomorphisms. I have contributed to this problem on both ends: I have coauthored theorems yielding positive entropy and zero entropy examples.
A nonhyperbolic ergodic measure is an ergodic invariant measure with at least one Lyapunov exponent vanishing. It is conjectured that typically
(but not always), nonhyperbolic ergodic measures exist whenever a diffeomorphism is not uniformly hyperbolic.
The first explicit examples of such measures are due to Gorodetski, Ilyashenko, Kleptsyn, and Nalsky, who constructed nonhyperbolic ergodic measures for certain skew product diffeomorphisms of the three-dimensional torus. Inspired by this construction, Bonatti, Diaz and Gorodetski gave sufficient conditions for weak* convergence of a sequence of measures supported on periodic orbits (periodic measures) to an ergodic measure. A royal measure is a measure obtained through this scheme. Numerous authors adapted this approach to provide examples of ergodic nonhyperbolic royal measures in various settings. It was an open question whether these measures could have positive entropy.
In a joint paper with Martha Łącka [Feldman-Katok pseudometric and the GIKN construction of nonhyperbolic ergodic measures, arXiv:1702.01962], we showed that royal measures always have zero entropy. Furthermore, we proved that all royal measures are loosely Kronecker. In other words, every royal measure is Kakutani equivalent (Kakutani equivalence is broader than the usual isomorphism of measure-preserving systems) to an ergodic rotation of a non-discrete compact topological group. For the proof, we introduced and studied a new tool: the Feldman-Katok pseudometric fk-bar on orbits. It leads to a notion of convergence for invariant measures, which is stronger than the usual weak* convergence.
Furthermore, ergodic measures form a closed subset in the Feldman-Katok pseudometric, and the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy is lower semicontinuous. What is more, the Feldman-Katok limit of periodic measures turns out to be loosely Kronecker. Finally, we showed that the scheme producing royal measures defines them as Feldman-Katok limit of periodic measures.
A positive entropy counterpart comes from my work with Bonatti and Diaz [Robust existence of nonhyperbolic ergodic measures with positive entropy and full support, arXiv:1810.02384]: Assuming robust transitivity, we proved that in the partially hyperbolic setting, there robustly exists an ergodic nonhyperbolic measure with full support and positive entropy. The novelty of this result is that we have addressed all four conditions (robustness, ergodicity, positive entropy, and full support) together, while previous works (Bochi, Bonatti and Diaz) dealt only with a subset of these conditions. My contribution was a formulation of a new condition on the coding of an orbit of a diffeomorphism f with respect to a partition implying that every f-invariant measure generated by that orbit has positive entropy. This was a missing piece, that allowed for the extension of an older work of Bochi, Bonatti and Diaz.
I was invited to present this result at the conference Dynamical Systems and Related Topics - ICM Satellite Conference, which took place in Salvador de Bahia in August 2018. I have also talked about it during the conference 2020 Vision for Dynamics (Anatole's Katok memorial conference) in Będlewo in August 2019.
Preferred main research goals for candidate:
All specialists interested in the theory of dynamical systems (smooth, symbolic, topological) and ergodic theory are welcome to join the group.
Research environment:
Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science provides an excellent and stimulating research environment with a weekly program of research seminars and many extra activities (workshops, conferences). It is only of the two Polish mathematical university faculties awarded the highest A+ evaluation grade by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education.
The dynamics group at the Jagiellonian University together with a similar group working at the AGH University of Science and Technology make the Krakow area probably the most vibrant dynamics community currently in Poland. Proximity of other Polish centers of research on dynamical systems, specifically Warszawa, Toruń and Wrocław creates unique opportunities for our guests and collaborators.

Main research field: Experimental Pharmacology, pathophysiology and therapy of endothelial dysfunction, pharmacology and biochemistry of endothelium, including studies on PGI2-, NO- and CO-dependent and other pathways
Significant achievements:
Author of over 300 publications including over 250 peer-review original publications and multiple reviews and book chapters.
One of my long-standing goal in research activities is to understand better the critical role of endothelial dysfunction in various diseases, to find optimal pharmacotherapeutic mechanisms of endothelium to be exploited pharmacologically in a given disease. Given the heterogeneity of endothelium and complex nature of endothelial dysfunction, we characterized phenotype of endothelial dysfunction in various animal models of diseases in rather a comprehensive manner, in the relation to the organ pathology, often using methodologically novel approaches. We characterized the various aspects of pathomechanisms of endothelial dysfunction in atherosclerosis (Bar et al, 2019, Maase et al., 2019) diabetes (Targosz Korecka et al., 2017), cancer (Buczek et al., 2018, Smeda et al., 2018, Suraj et al., 2019) heart failure (Adamski et al, 2018, Proniewski et al., 2018) , pulmonary hypertension (Fedorowicz et al., 2018) and endotoxaemia (Sternak et al., 2018). Among the major assets of our studies in this topic are the unique methodologies to assess endothelial function in vivo based on MRI (Bar et al., 2015, Bar et al., 2016), and to assess the biochemical phenotype of endothelium based on targeted metabolomics (Kus et al., 2018), on targeted proteomics in plasma based on panel of multiple biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction detected by LC/MS/MS (Suraj et al., 2018, Suraj et al., 2019) or based on angiotensins profiling (Olkowicz et al., 2015, Tyrankiewicz et al., 2018).
