2. He began his career in 1955 at the Institute of Nuclear Research (IBJ) in Swierk, near Warsaw. He soon went to the Nobel Institute in Stockholm, completing his PhD at Stockholm University. In 1961 he became head of physics at IBJ and obtained his professorship in For the last 10 years he was director of the Institute for Nuclear Studies in Swierk.

7. Nuclear Structure - cold
In I started my postdoc at the KVI in Groningen. I had the opportunity to work with Z. Sujkowski on a subject that was rather controversial at the time: the multipole character of low-energy dipole radiation in the quasi-continuum. From him I learned the technique of using X-rays to study the issue. I very nice PRL came from the work. It turns out that this PRL is one of the works that drew the attention of the staff at ANL and it played a role in getting me hired here. So, you see that I owe a lot to Zjemek (spelling?), besides the joy of working with a great scientist and a wonderful human being. (R. Janssens)

11. Ziemek was well known in the international nuclear physics community as Chairman of the Mazurian Lakes Conference in Poland that he led since He transformed the traditional (dating back to 1968) Nuclear Summer School towards a general subatomic conference. The selection of topics was linked not only to his personal range of research, but also reflected his keen awareness of the state of subatomic physics.
