Marek Ryszard Biesiada (born 4 February 1964 in Katowice) is a Polish astronomer, professor of Physics, Doctor of Medicine.
Biography[edit]
He studied astronomy (1982-1988) at Jagiellonian University in Cracow, Poland. Defending the thesis entitled "Group-theoretical properties of stellar structure equations" he obtained the MSc title in Astronomy. During the period 1984-1990 he studied medicine at Silesian Medical Academy (currently Medical University of Silesia), finishing with the M.D. title. In 1991 he obtained a PhD in Physics defending the thesis entitled "Non-standard dynamical effects in homogeneous multidimensional cosmological models" under supervision of rev. prof. Michał Heller (2008 Templeton Prize winner).
In 2007 he obtained habilitation in Physics at the Institute of Physics, University of Silesia in Katowice, based on thesis entitled "Tests and bounds on dark matter in the Universe". In 2013 he obtained the title of the professor from the President of Poland.
Member of the Astronomy Committee of the Polish Academy of Sciences (cadence 2016-2020, 2020-2023)[1]. In the period 2013-2016 served as a Research Deputy Director of the Institute of Physics, University of Silesia, Katowice, Poland. For his research achievements he was awarded in 2018 by the Polish Physical Society with Wojciech Rubinowicz Prize[2][3]. Awarded with the Golden Medal of Service for the University of Silesia, and with University of Silesia Rector’s Awards for research activities (years 2009, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018).
Research activity[edit]
He works on broad aspects of theoretical and observational cosmology. Current research interests comprise testing of fundamental physics, dark energy and dark matter models using gravitational waves and strong gravitational lensing. He is also interested in application of Bayesian statistics, information-theoretical techniques of model selection and non-parametric statistical methods. In the past he worked on multidimensional Kaluza-Klein cosmological models as well as on application of dynamical systems, deterministic chaos and complex systems theory in astrophysics and theory of gravity.
Working as a Medical Doctor, he investigated the influence of the environment on human health and performed health risk assessment of existing and planned enterprises.
He is an author of numerous publications in renowned journals[4], served as an expert for the Polish Ministry of Science and Education, National Centre of Science, European Commission (e.g. in Horizon 2020 Programme), UNECE, WHO. Currently he actively collaborates with scientists from China and France.

Professional career[edit]
In years 1988-1989 he worked as a research assistant at the Astronomical Obsrevatory of Jagiellonian University, Cracow.
As a M.D. he completed a residency programme (1990-1992) in the Upper-Silesian Medical Center in Katowice-Ochojec. In 1993 he obtained a prestigious fellowship in Astrophysics from the Foundation for Polish Science (first edition of START programme)[5].
In the period 1989-1998 he worked in the Copernicus Astronomical Center of the Polish Academy of Science. In years 1996-2006 he led the Human Health Risk Assessment Department in the Institute of Occupational Medicine and Environmental Health in Sosnowiec. From 1998 till 2019 he worked as a professor in the Department of Astrophysics and Cosmology, Institute of Physics, University of Silesia, Katowice. Since 2019 he is working as a full-professor in the Astrophysics Division of the National Centre for Nuclear Research in Warsaw.
