I am a 3rd year PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Warsaw advised by Przemyslaw Biecek. In spring 2024, I was a visiting researcher at LMU Munich hosted by Bernd Bischl and Giuseppe Casalicchio. Prior, I completed a Master’s degree in Data Science at Warsaw University of Technology.

My main research interest is explainable machine learning, with a particular emphasis on the robustness of post-hoc explanations to adversarial attacks. I also care about human-model interaction with applications in medicine, and support the development of several open-source Python & R packages for building predictive models responsibly.

I received the 2022 John M. Chambers Statistical Software Award.
