Visiting Student, Chemistry

Bio

I am a visiting researcher in Maty Lab and a third-year doctoral student at the University of Warsaw, Poland. My research journey began with a focus on drug carriers, where I explored modified cyclodextrins and liposomes, studying their diverse properties and the influence of various factors on their physicochemical parameters. Currently, my research has shifted to hydrogels, which I am investigating as platforms for advanced drug delivery systems (e.g., electrochemically controlled drug release). I have a strong interest in drug carrier technologies and, more recently, in polymers. My decision to use ATRP in my research brought me to Maty Lab, where I aim to further develop my research, learn new synthesis methods, explore advanced analytical techniques and improve electroresponsive hydrogels as drug delivery platforms.
