The winner
Paweł Świt, PhD, Eng. studied at the Faculty of Chemistry of the Jagiellonian University in 2007-2012, he finished his MA thesis in the Flow Analysis Techniques Team of the Department of Analytical Chemistry. He also completed his Master’s degree studies in chemical technology at the Faculty of Materials Science and Ceramics at the AGH University of Science and Technology in 2014. In 2013, he started doctoral studies at the Faculty of Chemistry of the Jagiellonian University under the supervision of Prof. Paweł Kościelniak. He defended his PhD thesis entitled “Examination and elimination of the interference effects with application of innovative calibration methods” in December 2017. During his doctoral studies, he participated in several internships abroad, including internships at the Faculty of Pharmacy of the Charles University in Prague and at the Department of Analytical Chemistry at the University of Valencia. In 2018, he was honored by the Committee on Analytical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences with the award for the best PhD thesis. In 2018, he started working at the Institute of Pharmacology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, where he was engaged in the determination of neurotransmitters using high-performance liquid chromatography. In 2019, he joined the Jagiellonian Centre for Experimental Therapeutics, and his research interests were related to surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Currently he works at the Institute of Chemistry of the University of Silesia in the Complex Instrumental Signal Modeling Team.
Congratulations! We wish you further success!
