Małgorzata (Gosia) was born and raised in Charbrowo, a small village in northern Poland. She completed an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree (EMJMD) in QEM - Models and Methods of Quantitative Economics with a strong background in Social Sciences.
Research Focus
Throughout her academic journey, Małgorzata has been most interested in mathematical modeling and evolutionary dynamics, with a main focus on Evolutionary Game Theory. During her Master’s studies at Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, she studied different optimization techniques and their applications to game theory. Her Master’s thesis investigated the evolution of cooperation in multiplayer, multiple games on multilayer networks, and she continued this research direction during her PhD.

Research Questions
Małgorzata’s work addresses how traditional two-player game theory setups can be extended to multiplayer settings found in real-life systems. She examines how the introduction of multiplayer games and multiple games interactions affects eco-evolutionary dynamics, helping to create more realistic and comprehensive models of complex biological systems.
