Dariusz Kaczorowski (born in 1959 in Wroclaw) is a Polish physicist, full professor at the Institute of Low Temperatures and Structure Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Wrocław. Since 2023, he has served as the director of the institute. In 2022, he was elected a corresponding member of the Polish Academy of Sciences.

Dariusz Kaczorowski specializes in experimental studies of condensed matter, especially in the physics of strongly correlated electron systems and topological materials. He is an author of three encyclopedic monographs (Springer Verlag) and over 620 original scientific articles in recognized peer-reviewed journals. Among them are numerous papers in journals with the highest impact factor in the field of solid state physics (Nature Commun., Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA, Adv. Funct. Meter., Nano Lett., Mater. Horiz., Phys. Rev. X, Phys. Rev. Lett., Phys. Rev. B ). To date, his publications have received over 7 500 citations; Hirsch index h = 36 (Web of Science; 02.01.2025). In 2020, 2022 and 2024 studies by Stanford University, Dariusz Kaczorowski was named one of the 2% world’s most cited scientists from all disciplines.

Dariusz Kaczorowski managed 7 own research projects funded by the Scientific Research Committee, the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, and the National Science Centre, including the most prestigious MAESTRO project (2016 - 2021). He was the prime contractor for 8 other research projects financed by the Polish grant agencies. He was the national coordinator of the network research project of the European Program for Scientific and Technical Research Cooperation (2005 - 2009). He also coordinated a few international network projects within the framework programs of the European Commission, and over a dozen bilateral projects (France, Germany, Austria, Portugal, Slovakia, Ukraine, Russia, Rep. South Africa, India, Japan). He has carried out dozens of small projects in the European neutron and synchrotron research centers using beamtime allocated through open competitions.

He presented his scientific results at more than 150 international scientific conferences organized in Poland and abroad. He gave over 40 plenary and invited lectures at major scientific conferences. He chaired seven international scientific conferences and co-organized 15 other international conferences, workshops and scientific schools. He is a member of more than 50 advisory or program committees of the most important international scientific conferences in the field of magnetism, superconductivity and low temperatures.
