My research interests include the role of the state in the economy, the impact of new technologies on the economy, and state-owned enterprises, with primary focus on the latter. 

I have authored and contributed to several textbooks (in Polish) in the fields of economics and design thinking. The first is a guide to economic principles, initially published in 2017 with a revised edition released in 2022. Another work, which I co-wrote with a colleague, is a textbook for secondary schools on entrepreneurial skills. Additionally, I co-authored a specialized manual in 2022 aimed at academic teachers in the social sciences, introducing them to design thinking methodologies, created in collaboration with multiple experts in the field.
