Research projects

Synergy Project
Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences (GIH), Parasportakademin
PhD student in the Synergy project (since 2023), a collaboration between GIH Stockholm, the Swedish Parasport Academy, and AWF Warsaw. I took part in international data collections (Poland, Brazil), pilot studies, and project meetings (Belgium, Sweden). My doctoral dissertation, developed within the project, examines how ergonomic conditions affect trunk function and sport performance in wheelchair athletes.
