Paweł Żuk obtained his Ph.D. in theoretical physics at the University of Warsaw. He developed the Generalized Rotne-Prager-Yamakawa model of hydrodynamic interactions, widely applied in colloidal suspensions and biomolecules studies. He did a post-doc at Princeton University with Prof. Howard Stone. He developed and used OpenFOAM codes to study ionic solutions in confinement. Currently, he holds a joint position at the Institute of Physical Chemistry Polish Academy of Sciences and Lancaster University, UK. In his current research, he focuses on nonequilibrium thermal processes.
