Academic interests

My research focuses mainly on the history of natural science collections and Polish-French ties in the field of natural science in the 18th and 19th centuries. I am also interested in the history of the Białowieża Forest research, the research of neotropical nature by Polish travelers, and the achievements of Polish emigration in France in the 19th century in natural sciences. I also research the functioning of scientific institutions and the work of naturalists in the conditions of limited freedom of science, as well as the history of wartime robberies of natural collections.
