About me

Polish version

I am a PhD candidate in Economics and Finance at Academia Rerum Socialium, Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, and a licensed securities broker (licence no. 3828). I have been investing on the Warsaw Stock Exchange since 2018. My research focuses on pension systems, particularly third-pillar pension schemes and long-term retirement saving in OECD countries. I am also interested in institutional and behavioural economics and the functioning of the financial system.

I completed my master’s degree in Economics as the top graduate of the Faculty of Economic Sciences and Management at Nicolaus Copernicus University in terms of academic performance and research achievements. I am the author of academic publications concerning, among other subjects, the measurement of pensioners’ financial well-being and automatic enrolment in voluntary pension schemes.
