Research and career

Dragan studied at the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw where he attained his PhD.[2]

He worked at the Imperial College London and the University of Nottingham.[2] He is also a visiting research associate professor at the National University of Singapore.[2]

His research topics include quantum optics, relativistic quantum information,[5] theory of relativity, and quantum field theory.[2] His recent collaboration with Artur Ekert resulted in a series of papers which propose that extending special relativity to include faster-than-light inertial observers directly leads to the existence of the quantum behaviors we observe in nature.[6][7]

Photography

Dragan published works include portraits of many known personalities from the world of film, art and politics.[1][2][3][4]
