Michał obtained both his Engineer’s and Master’s degree at the Warsaw University of Technology. For his Engineer’s degree, he characterised the crystal structure of novel lithium complexes and examined their luminescent properties in the solid state. His Master’s degree was focused on the synthesis as well as crystallographic and electrochemical characterisation of new Hückel-type salts. He also participated in the project related to the salts he was studying.

For a PhD Michał joined the ALISTORE project titled ”Design and synthesis of F^- free salts for all-solid-state batteries​”, conducting research at both CIC energiGUNE and the Warsaw University of Technology. His research focuses on Hückel-type and pseudo-delocalised anions for Li-ion and Na-ion electrolytes, which are promising systems for a new generation of batteries with favourable operational and safety parameters.
