Piotr Sułkowski is a theoretical physicist, an associate professor at the Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw (Poland), and a visiting faculty at the California Institute of Technology (USA). His research interests concern formal aspects of string theory and gauge theories, and not unrelated problems in mathematical physics. He has been working, among the others, on topics such as: topological string and field theories, Seiberg-Witten theory, mirror symmetry, matrix models, quantum curves and non-commutative geometry, knot theory, Calabi-Yau crystals. Occasionally he happens to be active in the field of biophysics, trying to understand topological properties of biomolecules (such as knotted proteins, interacting RNA, etc.). He conducts research in all these topics with members of his group at the Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw, and with collaborators around the world.
