1 About me
In my free time, I develop the PBD2D engine — a physics engine for two-dimensional soft-body simulations within the Unity Burst compiler. You can find demo scenes for this project here. Additionally, I actively develop Burst Triangulator, an efficient Unity Delaunay triangulation package with constraints and refinement support. I highly appreciate values like minimalism and simplicity. I am primarily interested in:
- simulation
- game physics
- computer graphics
- quantum computing.

3.1 Education
During my academic career, my research was primarily focused on quantum mechanics in the context of solid-state physics, particularly Majorana zero modes, and quantum computing, specifically quantum annealing. I collaborated extensively with Professor M. Mierzejewski's group, Dr. B. Gardas's group, and Dr. A. Ptok's group. As a result, I successfully published several papers. Below, you can find a table summarizing my educational progress.
