Maciej Dołęga

Associate Professor of Mathematics

Welcome

I am an Associate Professor in the Institute of Mathematics of the Polish Academy of Sciences.

I obtained my PhD in 2013 at the Uniwersytet Wrocławski under Professor Piotr Śniady. Afterwards, I was a Cartaplus postdoc fellow at the LIAFA (now IRIF), Université Paris 7 during the academic years 2013-2015 and an Assistant Professor as a FUGA IV fellow at the Uniwesytet im. Adama Mickiewicza, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science during the academic years 2015-2018. In 2018-2022 I was working as an Assistant Professor in the Institute of Mathematics of the Polish Academy of Sciences.

My wife Jacinta is also a mathematician.

Jointly with Divya Setia and Jacinta Torres we organize the Combinatorics and Interactions seminar. We usually meet on (every other) Tuesday at 14:00 at the Kraków branch of IM PAN. Come and join us!
