Professors

Adam Piestrzyński

prof. dr hab. inż

specialty: geology of copper deposits, ore petrography

is a professor of Economic Geology at the Faculty of Geology, Geophysics and Environmental Protection of the AGH University of Krakow, Poland. He published over 250 articles and completed over 370 exploration and industrial projects in the last 50 years, cooperating with the KGHM P.M. and international exploration companies in Mongolia, Ukraine and Vietnam. His main interests are base metal mineralization and gold deposits, especially sediment-hosted Kupferschiefer-type Cu-Ag deposits in Europe and South America. He established the Critical Elements Laboratory KGHM and AGH University joint facility. He has promoted over 150 M.Sc. students and 8 Ph.D. students.

Adiuncts

Gabriela Kozub-Budzyń

PhD

specialty: geology of Cu-Ag deposits, electron microprobe analysis

Assistant professor in the Laboratory of Critical Elements AGH-KGHM. Scientific interests are related to geochemistry of silver in Cu-Ag deposit at the Fore-Sudetic Monocline and broad topics of ore geology. Her scientific studies include also application of microanalysis in geochronological and petrological constraints on metamorphic and igneous processes. Furthermore, her works involve interdisciplinary research related to application of electron microprobe analysis, such as in metallurgy or dentistry.

Assistants

Władysław Zygo

MSc

specialty: ore modelling, mineral exploration

He is a research assistant at the Economic Geology Department, Faculty of Geology, Geophysics and Environmental Protection of the AGH University of Krakow, Poland. His research area is focused on 3D-4D ore deposit modelling (Kupferschiefer type, MVT), identification of critical elements in Cu-Ag deposits in the Lubin-Sieroszowice district. He is part of the research group working on ore minerals distribution in the Permian, copper bearing sedimentary basin in Poland. He was a member of the exploration team for Au, Cu, Ni deposits in South Mongolia (2008, 2010-2012) and evaluation team of the polymetallic deposits in Serbia and Montenegro (2013) and Kosovo (2016). Currently, he acts as the lecturer of several courses at AGH (e.g. computer modelling, prospecting and mineral exploration, and economic geology).
