Short bio
I was born in 1986 in Krakow, Poland. In 2014, I obtained a PhD degree in chemistry at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow under the supervision of prof. Barbara Sieklucka and co-supervisor prof. Corine Mathonière (University of Bordeaux I, France), and the European Doctorate in Molecular Magnetism (European Institute of Molecular Magnetism, Florence, Italy). For research conducted as part of my doctoral dissertation, I was awarded the Polish Prime Minister's Award for outstanding doctoral theses. After a postdoctoral stage in the group of Dr. Guillaume Chastanet at the Institut de Chimie de la Matière Condensée de Bordeaux (ICMCB, France, Bordeaux), I obtained the position of project assistant professor at the University of Tokyo in Japan, in the Solid State Physical Chemistry laboratory headed by Prof. Shin-ichi Ohkoshi. In life, I strive for a deeper understanding of everything that surrounds us and answers to unasked questions. My interests are mainly related to work and popular science activities.
Research interests
My scientific interest focuses on synthesis and characterization of metal complexes, multifunctional molecular magnets and discovery of novel physicochemical cross-effects. I am currently conducting research on obtaining materials showing absorption in the THz range, which may be the foundation for communication technologies of the future.
