Stanisław Żukowski

Hi! I'm a PhD student under the supervision of Piotr Szymczak at the Institute of Theoretical Physics, University of Warsaw and Annemiek Cornelissen at the Laboratoire Matière et Systèmes Complexes (MSC), Université Paris Cité.

I'm broadly interested in pattern formation and morphodynamic networks, such as river networks or jellyfish gastrovascular canal network. My work combines numerical and theoretical modeling with experiments and real world data analysis. To see specific projects I have worked on, you can check the Projects tab.

Together with Annemiek Cornelissen and John Shaw we organize online seminars on the topic of looping morphodynamic networks. Feel free to join us!
