Biography

In 1967 he became the finalist of the 18th Mathematical Olympiad.[5] In 1972, he graduated in mathematics at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. He obtained his doctorate in Institute of Mathematics of the Polish Academy of Sciences[1] in 1977, based on the work Lefschetz Numbers of Maps Commuting with an Action of a Group written under the direction Kazimierz Gęba[6]. He got habilitation there in 1991, based on the work Invariant topology methods used in variational problems.[2]

From 1993 to 1996, he was the director of the Institute of Mathematics University of Gdańsk. Since 1996, he has been working at Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science at the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, where he heads the "Department of Geometry and Topology". In 2002 he received the title of professor of mathematics.

From 1993 to 1996, he was the president of the Gdańsk Branch of Polish Mathematical Society (PMS) and next, he was the vice president of Polish Mathematical Society(2011–2013).[7] Since 2014, he has been the president of the Polish Mathematical Society.

He was recognized by the Stefan Banach Prize[8] of Polish Mathematical Society (ex aequo with Jerzy Jezierski).
