Marek works within the Law & Economics paradigm, focusing on international competition law. His doctoral research, conducted under academic supervision of Professor Imelda Maher, MRIA, makes the contribution to the existing scholarship regarding extraterritoriality and related aspects of transnational litigation in antitrust cases (thesis is entitled 'The Limits of the Doctrine of Extraterritoriality in Competition Law'). It falls within the strand of research on the interface between national competition laws, international law and regulation of world trade. Marek concluded his PhD studies in July 2012. In October 2012 he successfully passed his PhD viva voice examination (External Examiner: Professor Ariel Ezrachi, Internal Examiner: Dr. Suzanne Kingston).
In August 2012 Marek joined the Law Faculty at the Loyola University Chicago for the academic year 2012-2013. As a Senior Research Fellow in the Institute for Consumer Antitrust Studies (for Marek's profile at LUC School of Law click here), he conducts a research project on the impact of foreign governments amicus briefs in international antitrust litigation in the US and teaches a seminar in International and Comparative Antitrust.

If you wonder how to pronounce Marek's name, that is the phonetic transcription in IPA: /marɛk martɨniʃɨn/.
