Prof. Dr. hab. Piotr Kossacki
Prof. Piotr Kossacki graduated from the University of Warsaw in 1994, where he obtained his PhD in physics in 1998. From 1998 to 1999, he worked as a postdoc at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) in the group of Prof. Benoit Deveaud. When he returned to Warsaw, he was employed in the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw. From 2009 to 2011, he was a Marie Curie fellow (FP7 IEF) in the High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Grenoble, in the group of Marek Potemski. Since 2011, he has been working at the University of Warsaw as an associate professor and, since 2019, as a full professor.
His main research interest is magnetospectroscopy of II-VI quantum wells and quantum dots (QD) as well as nanostructures with diluted magnetic semiconductors, in particular QDs with individual magnetic ions. He initiated many research directions at the University of Warsaw, such as ultrafast magnetospectroscopy, measurements in nanosecond pulsed magnetic fields or manipulation of a single magnetic ion in semiconductor quantum dots. He was also involved in the first demonstration of the coherent precession of an individual Mn spin in a QD.
Piotr Kossacki supervised 8 PhD students. He is a co-author of more than 200 peer- reviewed papers and of a book chapter.
