I trained in theoretical physics at the University of Warsaw, where I worked on soft and quantum condensed matter. After 2015 I joined the microfluidic group at the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences, where I have been involved in microfluidic and biophysical experiments. I have also worked on the transport of molecules in complex fluids and inside living cells. From March 2019 to March 2020 I visited the active matter group of John Brady at the California Institute of Technology. For more information see: www.karolmakuch.com
