Ukończyłem studia filologii klasycznej na Uniwersytecie Śląskim (2003) oraz studia medyczne na Wydziale Lekarskim w Katowicach Śląskiego Uniwersytetu Medycznego (2001). Doktorat, poświęcony problemowi zemsty w tragedii greckiej i napisany pod opieką profesora Jerzego Styki (UJ), obroniłem w 2007 r. W 2017 uzyskałem stopień doktora habilitowanego na podstawie pracy Hyperejdes, Mowy (Katowice 2016) zawierającej pierwszy polski przekład zachowanych dzieł tego oratora, uwzględniający również niedawno odkryte mowy Przeciwko Timandrosowi i Przeciwko Diondasowi. W mojej pracy nad mówcami greckimi, jako kierownik projektów badawczych, korzystałem i korzystam ze wsparcia Ministerstwa Nauki i Szkolnictwa Wyższego (2011), Narodowego Centrum Nauki (2014) oraz Narodowego Programu Rozwoju Humanistyki (2017, 2021). Moje zainteresowania naukowe dotyczą greckiej retoryki, ateńskiego prawa oraz attyckiej tragedii, zdarza mi się jednak również poświęcać uwagę bardziej egzotycznym zagadnieniom, jak grecki folklor, studia nad Homerem czy bizantyńska recepcja kultury antycznej.

I have a degree in classical studies (2003) and medicine (2001), although I am no longer a licensed doctor. I have received my PhD at the University of Silesia (2007) for a thesis concerning revenge in Attic tragedy. An annotated translation of Hyperides (2016) was the basis of my habilitation (2017); it is the first rendering into Polish of the speeches of this orator along with the recently discovered fragments of Against Timandrus and Against Diondas. In my work on the orators I have benefited, as the Principal Investigator, from grants from the Polish Ministry of Higher Education (2011), the National Science Center (2014) and the National Program for the Development of Humanities (2017, 2021). My research interests include Greek rhetoric, Athenian law and Greek tragedy, but occasionally I venture into more exotic domains such as Greek folklore, Homeric studies and the Byzantine reception of antiquity.
