Andrzej Dragan

Prof. Ph.D. Andrzej Dragan, an eccentric Polish theoretical physicist and audiovisual artist, is one of the most rebellious, charismatic, and probably the most listened-to science popularisers in Poland.

Currently, he is a professor at the University of Warsaw, Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw (FUW), and a visiting professor at the National University of Singapore (NUS).

At the Institute of Theoretical Physics of the University of Warsaw he is leading a research group on Relativistic Quantum Information.

Prof. Dragan, a winner of many national and international awards for his scientific achievements, has written over 50 papers on quantum optics, relativistic quantum information theory, relativity theory, quantum field theory in curved space-time, and two books: a popular science book "Quantechism, or a Cage for people" (2019), and the textbook on the theory of relativity "Unusually Special Relativity" (2021).

In 2020, together with Professor Artur Ekert, he published the work "The Quantum Principle of Relativity", which may turn out to be the biggest breakthrough in the understanding of quantum theory since Einstein.
