Anna Wójtowicz

Anna is a postdoctoral researcher in the High-Energy Astrophysics group at the Department of Theoretical Physics and Astrophysics, Masaryk University in Brno, Czechia. She obtained her Ph.D. in 2022 from the Jagiellonian University in Cracow, Poland. In her research, Anna focuses on radio galaxies at various stages of their evolution: from the youngest compact-symmetric objects to giant radio galaxies and even sources with intermittent activity. In her research, she utilizes the multi-waveband archival data in an appraoch to investigate the jet production efficiencies and jet duty cycle.

In her spare time Anna enjoys rock climbing and hiking in the mountains.
