Biography

Piotr Kalaczyński is a technician at the Scientific Computing and Information Technology group at AstroCeNT.

He received his PhD in physics in 2024 at the National Centre for Nuclear Research in Warsaw, where he worked on the underwater Cherenkov neutrino telescope experiment KM3NeT. His thesis focused on simulation and modelling of cosmic ray muons in KM3NeT detectors and can be found in arXiv:2402.02620. During his PhD studies, he has also been involved in the upgrade of the Super-Kamiokande detector and in activities related to its planned successor, Hyper-Kamiokande. He did his Master degree at RWTH Aachen, where he analyzed neutrino data from the IceCube experiment, located at the South Pole. During the time in Aachen, he engaged in teaching activities at three different undergraduate courses offered by RWTH. His Bachelor studies at Lodz University of Technology were combined with a 1 year student exchange with ETH Zürich.

Since 2023, he works at AstroCeNT on software development for the DEAP3600 experiment and the ESA project. Since 2024, he is also involved at AGH Cracow in the ArtiQ project, working on automotive computer vision applications.
