Open-Access Textbooks

For many students around the world, educational resources are hardly affordable. Therefore, I have decided that my recent books should remain independent, non-profit, open-access projects. Whilst, for some people, the presence of a “designer tag” from a major publisher might still be a proxy for quality, it is my hope that they will prove useful to those who seek knowledge for knowledge’s sake. Please spread the word about these projects. Thank you.

My featured books:

• Deep R Programming

• Minimalist Data Wrangling with Python

For more, see my other textbooks. Also, my CV includes a more complete, boring list of my teaching-related activities.

Past

For over 15 years, I’ve been developing and teaching many subjects related to programming, algorithms, computational statistics, and data analysis. I wrote a few textbooks. I’m particularly proud of the Golden Chalk of the second degree (Silver Chalk? 😆) that I was awarded in 2019 for my teaching at the Warsaw University of Technology. Thanks. 🥰

I was one of the principal initiators/designers of the first data science degree in Poland (both at undergraduate and postgraduate level).

I also taught very intensive and demanding (in a good way) R- and Python-for-data-analysis classes at Data Science Retreat in Berlin (for five years).

In 2019–2024, I was a senior lecturer/researcher at Deakin University (Melbourne, Australia). I developed and was responsible for SIT220/SIT731 Data Wrangling and SIT114 Introduction to Artificial Intelligence.

In April 2024, I happily returned to teaching my fantastic students at Warsaw University of Technology.
