Portrait of Krzysztof Rechowicz
Get to Know Me

Something that excites me in my field...

It's at the intersection of many domains so I get to work with people from many fields.

My work affects society because ...

It is inspired by societal issues.

Something I learned in my research this year that surprised me...

There is no average when it comes to humans. Everyone is unique.
