We are pleased to announce that the Minister of Energy, Mr. Miłosz Motyka, has appointed Dr. hab. Agata Chomiczewska to the position of Deputy Director for Scientific Affairs at the Sylwester Kaliski Institute of Plasma Physics and Laser Microfusion (IPPLM), effective September 1, 2025.

Dr. hab. Agata Chomiczewska graduated from the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw. In 2005, she began working at the Institute of Plasma Physics and Laser Microfusion. In 2012, she obtained a PhD in Physics and a postdoctoral degree in 2020, both from the National Centre for Nuclear Research. Since 2016, she has served as the National Scientific Coordinator for research conducted on European experimental tokamak-type thermonuclear devices located in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, France, Germany, and Japan. She is a member of the Project Board in the European EUROfusion consortium, responsible for substantive supervision and setting strategic directions for the implementation of the nuclear fusion research program, as well as a member of the Council of the Plasma Physics Section of the European Physical Society.

Professor’s primary research areas are thermonuclear fusion, with particular emphasis on studying plasma impurities using spectroscopic methods in magnetically confined systems. She is the author or co-author of over 200 scientific publications. She actively participates in events promoting thermonuclear fusion and in organizing international scientific conferences.

Dr. hab. Agata Chomiczewska is part of an international team of researchers who in recent years achieved a breakthrough in the field of nuclear fusion during experiments at the world's largest tokamak, JET, in the UK, setting a world energy record.
