I am glad to have presented at ICON•S 2025 in Brasilia, at the "Large-N Constitutionalism" Panel. My paper was titled "Constitutional Zugzwang: a methodological proposal to empirically assess the impact of hyper-amendments."

Scholars often find themselves caught between projects, even on vacation. This time, I found rest in drafting by hand. There’s a certain clarity and calm that comes from setting aside the computer for a blank page and ink with the sound of waves.

Great to be in Prague for the European Law Abound Conference at Charles University. I presented a paper co-authored with Prof. Piotr Tuleja on informal institutions in the Polish Constitutional Tribunal. A pleasure to meet so many friends and colleagues!

I am thrilled to have been awarded the Highest Rector’s Award for research conducted in 2024. Getting such a distinction from my Faculty is not only a source of pride but of motivation to keep going.
