Welcome

Andrzej Piotr Kądzielawa (Kraków, Poland) is a theoretical physicist, currently an assistant professor at the AGH University of Krakow.

He earned his PhD in Physics in Prof. Józef Spałek's group at Jagiellonian University (Kraków, Poland) in 2015 with summa cum laude honors, following his development of an original quantum chemical method (EDABI), applied in the theoretical condensed matter physics. This included high-performance computations on the electronic structure of solid insulating and metallic hydrogen, as well as the statistical and qualitative analysis of large quantities of results.

He is a co-author of high-performance computational library Quantum Metallization Tools (qmt) and an author of generic framework for mapping density functional theory output onto the Heisenberg model JorGpi.

From January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022, he was the Principal Investigator of GAČR standard grant No. 20-18392S Tailoring thermal stability of W-Cr based alloys for fusion applications (cz. Modifikace teplotní stability slitin na bázi W-Cr pro aplikaci ve fúzních reaktorech).

Between 2018 and 2023 he was a researcher in the Modelling for Nanotechnologies Lab at IT4Innovations National Supercomputing Centre (Ostrava, Czechia). He then spent two years as a senior data engineer at Santander Bank Polska, returning to academia in 2025 to join the Faculty of Physics and Applied Computer Science at AGH.
