Andrzej Dragan (born 16 May 1978) is a Polish theoretical physicist, science communicator, photographer, filmmaker and composer.[1]. Dragan is a teaching and research professor at the University of Warsaw[2] and a visiting scholar at the National University of Singapore[3].
Research and career
Dragan studied at the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw where he attained his PhD in 2006. He received his Doctor of Science ("habilitation") degree in 2014 with his thesis on relativistic quantum information[4]. He worked at the Imperial College London and the University of Nottingham.
Currently, Dragan teaches and researches at the Department of Quantum Optics and Atomic Physics of the University of Warsaw [5]. He is also a visiting research associate professor at the National University of Singapore[6].
Dragan has authored or co-authored over 50 publications[2][3] in the fields of quantum optics, relativistic quantum information, theory of relativity, and quantum field theory. His recent collaboration with Artur Ekert resulted in a series of papers [7][8] which propose that extending special relativity to include faster-than-light inertial observers directly leads to the existence of the quantum behaviors we observe in nature[9].
Photography
Dragan published works including portraits of many known personalities from the world of film, art and politics[10][11], including:
- 2004: Jerzy Urban,
- 2004: Andrzej Mleczko,
- 2004: Kuba Wojewódzki.
- 2005: David Lynch,
- 2005: Jan Peszek,
- 2007: Mads Mikkelsen,
- 2010: Jim Broadbent,
- 2013: Daniel Olbrychski
- 2016: Joss Stone
Dragan's work popularized an image-editing effect referred to as "The Dragan Effect"[12][10][13].
Publications
His popular science publications include:
- Unusually Special Relativity (2021, ISBN 9781800610804)[14]
- Kwantechizm 2.0, czyli klatka na ludzi (2022, ISBN 9788381359627)[15] (en: Quantechism 2.0, or the human cage)
