Sylwia Pindral

Geography has been my passion since I was a child, but for 10 years, I have been practicing spatial analysis. After graduating with a first degree in spatial management, I decided to choose an environmental geoinformation study for my second degree. After graduating with my master's degree and simultaneously completing my second master's degree in geography, I began my Ph.D. studies. At the IUNG-PIB, in 2021, I started my second Ph.D.

Privately: Terminally introverted, caffeine-addicted... I am interested in running, hiking, vegetarian and Mediterranean cuisine, and opera. I watch horror films, dramas, thrillers, and psychological movies, especially those directed by David Lynch, Lars Von Trier, Jim Jarmusch, and Stanley Kubrick. I am Eurovision psycho fan as well; however, I usually listen to jazz, bossa nova, and film music.
