Andrzej Dragan is a Polish theoretical physicist, science communicator, photographer, filmmaker and composer. Dragan is a teaching and research professor at the University of Warsaw working on quantum information. In photography, he is known for the Dragan effect. [1] [2] [3] [4]
Research and career
Dragan studied at the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw where he attained his PhD. [2]
He worked at the Imperial College London and the University of Nottingham. [2] He is also a visiting research associate professor at the National University of Singapore. [2]
His research topics include quantum optics, relativistic quantum information, [5] theory of relativity, and quantum field theory. [2] His recent collaboration with Artur Ekert resulted in a series of papers 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. [6] [7]
Photography
Dragan published works include portraits of many known personalities from the world of film, art and politics. [1] [2] [3] [4]
