Bartosz Naskręcki

Dr. Bartosz Naskręcki is a graduate of Adam Mickiewicz University and specializes in number theory and algebraic geometry. After earning his Ph.D. in 2014, he completed several long-term research fellowships in Bayreuth, Bavaria; in Bristol, UK; and at the Dioscuri TDA Center in Warsaw. For over five years, he has been collaborating with Prof. Mariusz Jaskólski in the field of mathematical crystallography, culminating in a section lecture at the European Crystallographic Congress (ECM 2025). In 2022, 2023, and 2026, he received the Diamonds of Crystallography award three times from the Crystallography Committee of the Polish Academy of Sciences (PAN).

In 2025, he co-created the most difficult math test for LLMs, the FrontierMath project. His math problem was included in Tier 4, the most difficult variant of this test, which has so far defied all of the most powerful language models. He is a co-author of the Leiden Declaration on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics. 

He is passionate about teaching students at the intersection of computer science and mathematics, leading courses in areas such as cryptography, mathematical computation in Python, and the use of large language models in mathematical and programming work. He is interested in all aspects of the use of computers in groundbreaking mathematical research.

Dr. Bartosz Naskręcki is also an active science communicator, particularly regarding the contribution of Polish cryptologists to breaking the Enigma machine’s code. He received the Polish Mathematical Society’s award for young mathematicians for 2013, and in 2010 he was honored in the Józef Marcinkiewicz Competition for the best student thesis in mathematics.

In addition to his academic work, he is a husband and father of two children. In his free time, he is an avid gardener, a lawn enthusiast, and an avocado grower.
