Stories from researchers who chose us

Research calls for a particular approach: asking questions, digging deeper and not settling for simple solutions. You need to be inquisitive and patient. I think I have these qualities, and choosing the Doctoral School was a very good decision for me, despite the appeal of working in the private sector.
Artur Gańcza, PhD Eng.
Faculty of Electronics, Telecommunications and Informatics
My PhD helped me become much more independent and develop my planning and time management skills. Beyond the obvious benefits, such as gaining in-depth knowledge in my field, my doctoral training also strengthened my research skills and my ability to analyse data and write research papers.
Jolanta Kulesza, PhD Eng.
Faculty of Chemistry
Pursuing a PhD offers excellent opportunities to spend time abroad and build professional connections. Unfortunately, I pursued mine during the pandemic, when mobility was restricted. Even so, I was able to undertake research internships in Italy, Slovakia and Germany and attend conferences in Bulgaria and Portugal.
PhD Eng. Aleksandra Mirowska
Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Ship Technology
My time at the Doctoral School taught me, above all, humility, patience and how to organise my work effectively. If I had to make the decision again, I would choose the same path without hesitation, especially as the doctoral training programme is now very well organised and PhD students have access to numerous scholarship opportunities.
Arkadiusz Dawczak, PhD Eng.
Faculty of Applied Physics and Mathematics
During my PhD, I had excellent working conditions and many opportunities to undertake research internships abroad, secure grants and participate in research exchanges with universities across Europe. I greatly admire and appreciate Polish culture, the local climate and the natural environment. Polish cuisine, which I have come to know well, is another highlight. Breaded pork cutlets and żurek, a sour rye soup served in a bread bowl, are simply unbeatable.
Yuxin Lu, PhD
Faculty of Management and Economics
Being awarded a PRELUDIUM grant was the most important and happiest moment of my time at the Doctoral School. Learning that I had been awarded over PLN 200,000 in funding for my research was a great honour.
Antoni Taraszkiewicz, PhD Eng.
Faculty of Chemistry
The early years of a PhD can be quite frustrating, because you realise how much you still do not know and how much you have yet to learn. This teaches you humility. Over time, however, you come to accept that no matter how much effort you put in, your knowledge will always be incomplete and limited in some way. Even so, the sense of satisfaction is immense, especially when you work in a good, close-knit team.
Natalia Tańska-Witczak, PhD Eng.
Faculty of Applied Physics and Mathematics
Pursuing a PhD at the Doctoral School involves many sacrifices, but the satisfaction is even greater. Being part of a good team and having a good supervisor are essential. These are the conditions that make high-quality research possible.
Joachim Eichenlaub, PhD Eng.
Faculty of Chemistry
