About me

I am an analytical chemist with over ten years of experience in method development and material characterization.

I hold a Master’s degree in Chemistry from the University of Warsaw. I completed my PhD at the Technological University of Dublin, where I investigated interactions between DNA and bioinorganic compounds using biosensors I designed and developed. Following my PhD, I worked as a research engineer at both the Technological University of Dublin and Stockholm University (Department of Meteorology), focusing on the analysis of environmental samples using chromatography and spectroscopy.

I spent four years at Northvolt, a battery manufacturer, where I worked in collaboration with production, R&D and quality control departments. My work involved material characterization, with a specialization in electrolyte analysis, as well as preventive maintenance and troubleshooting of analytical instruments, creation of SOPs, risk assessments, etc. I was a manager for a team of several chemists and technicians.

Currently, I am a research engineer at ACES, where I contribute to various research projects. I am also responsible for managing the laboratories space and maintaining several instruments, including the ion chromatograph.
