  Solar activity and space weather
• prof. Michał Ostrowski
  
  1. A selected topic in Very High Energy Gamma-ray Astronomy within the projects SST-1M, H.E.S.S., and/or CTA.
  2. A study of Solar UV/X Bursts and Space Weather influence on the Earth using Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) electromagnetic waves measurements (see more ).
• dr hab. Marian Soida
  
  numerical simulations of magnetized interstellar medium;
  radio observations of nearby galaxies

  physics of cosmic sources of high energy radiation and particles,
  analysis and modelling of the gamma-ray data collected by the H.E.S.S. Telescopes,
  neutrino astrophysics with the Hyper-Kamiokande observatory
• dr hab. Sebastian Szybka
  
  exact solutions to Einstein equations: black holes, gravitational waves,
  inhomogeneous cosmological models
  proposed PhD topics...
