Andrzej Opala earned his Ph.D. from the Institute of Physics at the Polish Academy of Sciences, where his doctoral thesis, “Complex dynamics of nonlinear modes of an exciton-polariton condensate,” received distinction. Following this, he completed a postdoctoral fellowship at University College London, funded by the Polish National Science Centre (NCN). He is a laureate of the prestigious “START” programme of the Foundation for Polish Science, which honours the most promising young Polish scientists. Andrzej has led several NCN-funded research projects focusing on exciton-polaritons for quantum and classical information processing. Currently, he is affiliated with both the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw and the Theoretical Physics Department at the Institute of Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Additionally, he is an active lecturer at the University of Warsaw, where he teaches courses on Bose-Einstein and polariton condensation, as well as the topology of condensed matter. His broader research interests include quantum fluids of light, optical neuromorphic computing devices, and quantum information processing.
