An M.D. (psychiatry), a Ph.D. (human physiology), with 30+ years work in different areas of cognitive and affective neuroscience and psychophysiology (research of behavior, cognition, emotions, motivations in relation to baseline and on-task brain, autonomic, cardio-vascular, metabolic, endocrine, and immune activities in healthy and delinquent adults and adolescents, in affective and other neuropsychiatry patients, as well as patients with psychosomatic and somatic diseases). Have had projects in emotional AI and mobile Health technologies.

Associate Professor in Health Sciences (a postdoctoral degree of Habilitated Doctor of Medical and Health Sciences) awarded by the Polish Central Commission for Academic Degrees and Titles in 2020; the Chief Scientific Officer of a SME “Aura devices inc.” company, USA.

My research interests are related to psychophysiology in relation to human health including psychology, physiology, psychiatry, cardiology, endocrinology, immunology, genetics and epigenetics, mobile and digital health technologies, advanced statistics in areas such as resilience, chronic pain, stress, depression, cognitive performance, mood, personality traits, coping strategies, homeostasis, baroreflex, blood pressure, metabolism etc.

One of lines of my research is related to blood pressure and volume regulation mechanisms including baroreflex and their effects on central processes such as affectivity, chronic pain, cognitive performance, resilience, adaptation etc.). During a long very productive collaboration (from 1997 with 17 scientific papers) with the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, we have conducted a line of research on indicators and interventions with focus on depression, negative and positive mood, chronic pain, physical, affective and cognitive behavioral activity, addiction problems, individual and personality traits, healthy life styles, coping strategies, and their physiological (autonomic, hormonal, and immune) correlates in lab and real life of patients and healthy men and women. I was a principal investigator or co-investigator of 7 research projects supported by various National (e.g., the Institute for Advance Studies) and International (e.g., INSERM, France) foundations and institutions. I have been a visiting scholar or visiting professor in several international (European and USA) universities and research institutions such as the the Semel Institute for Neuroscience & Human Behavior at UCLA, USA; Unit of Pathologies of the Nervous System in INSERM, France; Faculty of Psychology of the Catholic University of Louvain, Belgium; Institute of Life Sciences of University of Southampton, UK; Medical University and Institute of Rural Medicine in Lublin, Poland and I continue to collaborate with some of them. I have a collaborative research (for scientific publications and patents) and development (mobile, health and nano technologies and their implementations in wearable devices) with some USA digital/mobile health SMEs (e.g., Aura devices and Emitech). One of my papers on the mental resilience concept has been included in 100 top-cited papers (1500+ citations according to the Google Scholar) related to the topic including citations as a policy source in official documents for resilience-related actions.
