Professor Rohoziński was an outstanding scientist who initiated in Warsaw research in the field of the theory of nuclear collective movements. He gained international recognition for his fundamental works on complete solutions to quantum equations of motion for quadrupole shapes and description of collective excitations in odd nuclei. He was an outstanding lecturer, master, teacher; he inspirits many generations of physicists.

Funeral ceremonies will begin on September 23, 2021 at 11:00 in the church of St. Charles Borromeo on the Old Powązki.
