Short Bio

I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at SWPS University. Previously, I completed my Ph.D. in Psychology in 2023 at Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw (UKSW in Polish), where I studied judgment biases in memory representations with Prof. Dr. Marek Nieznański. I also graduated with a B.Eng. in Engineering Economics from Lanzhou Railway Institute, a M.Sc. in Technical Economics and Management from Tianjin University (advised by Prof. Dr. Li-Qiu Liu), and a postgraduate in Biblical Formation from UKSW.
