Dr Agnieszka Krogul-Sobczak

Agnieszka has received her MSc (2007) degree from the University of Warsaw. Later, in 2012, she defended her PhD thesis entitled: “Physical and chemical properties and catalytic and cytotoxic activity of the palladium complexes with pyridine derivatives” under the supervision of prof. Grzegorz Litwinienko. For her postdoctoral research she moved to the prof. Armando Pombeiro group (in Instituto Superior Tecnico in Lisbon) to investigate catalytic activation of alkanes and carbon dioxide. Then, she came back to University of Warsaw to continue work in prof. Grzegorz Litwinienko group, where she focuses, among others, on catalysts and processes for life sciences applications. Her mission is to design and develop processes and catalysts for the synthesis of add-value compounds in agreement with sustainable chemistry. The development of more ecologically friendly and economic catalytic processes for manufacturing of bulk and fine chemicals is a one of challenges for modern chemistry.
