Pawel Jung received his PhD in Physics from the Faculty of Physics at the Warsaw University of Technology and postdoctoral research training in Optics and Photonics at the CREOL College of Optics and Photonics, working in Nonlinear Guided Wave Group and Nonlinear Optics Group under the guidance of Professors Demetrios Christodoulides, David J. Hagan, and Eric W. Van Stryland. During this time, he also served as a Scholar Instructor, teaching advanced graduate-level courses such as Fundamentals of Optical Fiber Communications and Nonlinear Guided Wave Optics. Jung's research trajectory extends from classical to nonlinear to quantum optics, with a pronounced focus on fundamental scientific inquiries and real-world applications.
