Andrzej Ptok

Dr. Andrzej Ptok is an Associate Professor at the Department of Computational Materials Research, Institute of Nuclear Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences (Kraków, Poland), specializing in condensed matter theory and computational materials science. He obtained his Ph.D. (2012) and M.Sc. (2007) in Physics from the University of Silesia, followed by a habilitation (2020) from the Polish Academy of Sciences. His research integrates ab initio methods to explore quantum phenomena in solids.

Research interests span unconventional superconductivity, topological materials, and chiral phonons, with emphasis on iron-based superconductors, Majorana quasiparticles, and altermagnetism. Recent work (2023–2025) focuses on:

• Dynamical properties of charge density waves in kagome metals
• Chiral edge states in superconducting systems
• Electronic structure of rare-earth topological semimetals
• Altermagnetic ruthenium dioxide

Honors include the Henry Niewodniczanski Scientific Award (2018), scholarships for young scientists (2019), and recognition as an IOP Trusted Reviewer (2020). He leads/co-leads multiple grants from Poland's National Science Center, including FUGA 5 (PI) and OPUS projects.

He collaborates internationally (e.g., Paris-Saclay, Zurich) and leads computational studies of quantum materials. No advising or lab details are explicitly provided.
