He graduated from the Jagiellonian University in Kraków in 1997 and completed his Ph.D. in 2000 at the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany. In 2002, he was appointed as an assistant professor at the Faculty of Chemistry, Jagiellonian University, where he completed his habilitation in 2009 and became an associate professor. Since 2011, he has been a position professor; since 2016, he has been a full professor. In 2013, he was appointed as the head of the Department of Inorganic Chemistry at Jagiellonian University, a position he held until 2021. From 2016 to 2020, he was a deputy dean for research and cooperation, and from 2020 to 2024, he was a dean at the Faculty of Chemistry, Jagiellonian University. From 2024 he is Vice-Rector for Research at Jagiellonian University. His research interests include mechanisms of photocatalytic processes (especially those involving TiO₂ photosensitization and activation of small molecules), redox properties of photocatalysts, photocatalytic detoxification and disinfection, photocatalytic carbon dioxide fixation, as well as photoelectrochemistry and spectroelectrochemistry of semiconductors. He is the author of 151 papers and book chapters (cited ca. 10 400 times, h = 44), several patents, and patent applications. In 2014 and 2015, he was a visiting professor at the Catalysis Research Center, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, and the School of Computing, Engineering and Mathematics, Western Sydney University.
