Mirosław is a PhD! In his opinion material chemists know already enough about various functionalities. Now it’s time to scale up the structural complexity. His research dream is the molecular self-assembled monocrystalline quantum microprocessor. He is currently a post-doc in the group of Prof. Masahiro Yamashita at the Tohoku University (Sendai, Japan).
Michał joined group in 2013 to synthesize organometallic complexes and study the photoswitching of magnetic materials. In his Bachelor’s Thesis prepared under Dawid’s supervision, he described "Photomagnetic behavior of octacyanotungstate (IV) complexes" which was awarded the "Gold Medal in Chemistry" award for the best chemistry thesis in Poland. He finished his PhD studies and is continuing his research on porosity, magnetism and photoswitching of inorganic and organometallic assemblies.
Leszek's scientific interests are centered on the structure-property relation and the dynamics of intermolecular interactions within the crystalline phases. He finished first- and second-cycle studies in an interdisciplinary SMP mode (Studies in Mathematics and Natural Sciences) at Jagiellonian University. He was a principal investigator (2018-2022) in a National Science Center Preludium research grant: “Study of dynamics in the interaction networks of selected co-crystals”. He finished his Ph.D. studies, with a project concerning in silico and experimental studies of multicomponent polar phases.
Paweł Pakulski is a PhD student and a research assistant. During his PhD studies he worked on a project in molecular magnetism under the supervision of Prof. Selvan Demir at the Michigan State University (USA) funded by the Kościuszko Foundation. He obtained his MSc in an interdisciplinary SMP mode (Studies in Mathematics and Natural Sciences) and earned a double diploma from Université d’Orléans, France and Jagiellonian University. His current research focuses on organic radicals and redox-active heterocycles.
Katarzyna is a PhD student and a reearch assistant in the Pinkowicz Group since 2020. She's involved in several projects: NCN Preludium Bis research grant "New photochromic molecules for the construction of photoswitchable molecular magnets" and the ERC Consolidator Grant LUX-INVENTA. She spent 5 months in Japan at Rikkyo University under the supervision of Prof. Masakazu Morimoto. She is interested in photochromic organic molecules and lathanide single molecule magnets. In her spare time, she climbs.
Dorota's scientific interests are mainly focused on supramolecular interactions. She studies molecular systems involving building blocks enabling the occurrence of interesting structural motifs, spectroscopic and electronic properties and functionalities like luminescence or magnetism. Outside the lab, she likes to cook too, as well as go for walks and bird watching. She enjoys traveling abroad but also short trips out of town, to nature.
Magda completed her master's degree in 2022. She started working in the Inorganic Molecular Materials group in 2022 on a project "Ionic conductors based on cyanido coordination architectures: design and functionalization". She is currently a PhD student, and her research focuses on the design and synthesis of helicenes as building blocks for chiral molecular magnets. In her free time she plays the saxophone, hikes and eats a lot.
Maria is a bachelor's student of chemistry. Her work focuses on the synthesis and characteristics of Single Molecule Magnets (SMMs), which are based on lanthanide ions with low coordination number. She specializes in synthesis under inert atmosphere - in glovebox and on Schlenk line.
In her free time, she enjoys knitting and rowing.
Katarzyna is currently working on synthesis and characterisation of optically pure single molecule magnets based on lanthanide ions with helicene ligands. She is interested in studies on optical activity and optimising syntheses of precisely designed single molecules, fascinated by how physical properties of materials stem from their molecular structure and planning to gain more knowledge in the field of physical chemistry and to apply this knowledge in conducted research.
Dominik is a graduate student at the Jagiellonian University Faculty of Chemistry, who is interested in molecular magnetism, redox-active materials and odd organic molecules. Excited to learn and understand physical and chemical processes and phenomena driving the world around him. His main research topic concerns exploring the properties of polydioxothiadiazoles salts potentially useful in organic secondary battery cells construction.
Wiktor is interested in inorganic chemistry, especially in coordination chemistry and magnetochemistry. His work is based on the synthesis and analysis of compounds such as porous materials based on cyanido- bridged d-d frameworks & heptacyanidometallates, which may show for example the photomagnetic effect.
In his free time, he loves to discover new places around the World and learns about their culture and art.
