Foundation authorities

Our team

The Veroli Foundation is created by a team of researchers from various scientific disciplines. We create also a kind of “training ground” where for research purposes we not only use traditional tools and methods of modern archeology and science, but also test new ideas and technological solutions. For this reason, our activities are based not only on cooperation with scientific research institutions in the field of humanities, but also with technical institutes and companies and startups offering new, revolutionary technological solutions.

We are in a constant cooperation with scientists, organizations and press. See our crucial parters here

 

The core of Veroli team are:

 

Magdalena Czechowska

I am a graduate of  the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science and PhD studies of Faculty of Social Sciences and Arts of the University of Warmia and Mazury,  the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of Olsztyn Colledge the Faculty of Computer Science and Economics of the University of Computer Science and Economics TWP in Olsztyn. In addition to scientific and educational activities, I have been exploring the secrets of culture, history and art for many years – I am particularly interested in ancient and Byzantine mosaics, ancient and medieval architecture, iconography and painting. I’m also an arist and run my own art gallery. I actively participate in archaeological projects conducted in Poland, Greece and Turkey.

 

Evelina Kachynska

I am a graduate of art history at the University of Wrocław and archeology at the University ofWarsaw, currently a PhD student at the Institute of Archeology and Ethnology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, in SD Anthropos. My research interests are related to the architecture of Kievan Rus and Byzantium, the specificity of liturgy and its influence on shaping space in religious buildings. Since 2017, I have been actively involved in excavations and prospecting in Turkey, Sudan and Jordan. I participate in the project “Archaeology of the seascape of the port of Constantinople in the basin of Lake Küçükçekmece”, financed by the National Science  Center,OPUS-21 program. I also teach at the University of Wrocław at the Institute of Classical, Mediterranean and Oriental Studies and at the Institute of Archeology, I work as a teacher of the Old Church Slavonic language at the Babel Foundation at the University of Warsaw. I am the author of articles and translations of scientific texts and an educator at the National Museum in Wrocław.

 

Grzegorz Sus

I am a second-cycle student of classical philology at the Jagiellonian University and the College of Interdisciplinary Individual Studies at the University of Wrocław, majoring in philosophy. My main interests are Greek literature of late antiquity – mainly philosophical writings (Hermeticism, Neoplatonism), alchemical treatises (especially Zosimos of Panopolis) and early Christian writings. Since 2021, I have been working on archaeological excavations as part of the project “Archaeology of the seascape of the port of Constantinople in the basin of Lake Küçükçekmece”, financed by the National Science Center, OPUS-21 program, and since 2023 I have been associated with the Nikaia 325 project. Apart from science, I love traveling and music – since 2021, I have been singing in the RONDO Vocal Ensemble from Wrocław.

Konrad K. Szymański

I’m a graduate of historical and classical studies at the University of Wrocław, Curator at the Department of Early Printed Books of the Ossoliński National Institute, PhD at literary scholar. In my scientific work I focuse on the history and literature of late antiquity and the early Middle Ages, as well as on the history of Early Printed Books. Since 2014, I have been actively participating in archaeological research carried out in Turkey.

Przemysław Szewczyk

I am a priest of the Roman Catholic Church (Archdiocese of Lodz), but that is not why I joined the Veroli Foundation team. I completed my doctoral studies at the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin in the field of ancient Church history and my master’s degree at the University of Lodz in the field of classical philology. I deal with the history of Christian dogma, with particular emphasis on the time of the so-called “Arian controversies”. I translate ancient Christian texts from Greek and Latin: Athanasius of Alexandria, Origen, Theodoret of Cyrus, Cyprian of Carthage, Augustine of Hippo. In my research on late antiquity, I willingly use the achievements of archaeology.
