Brief description of research interests:

The goal of ongoing research is multidisciplinary (chemistry, materials engineering, mechanical engineering) integration in the process area. Seeking to increase the efficiency of research processes through robotics and automation. The material field of this search is polymers and biopolymers, natural and synthetic fillers and organosilicon compounds. The second area is the energy transition based on hydrogen as an energy carrier. I am an active participant in the transition from academic research to the local and central government levels. I am actively involved in the industrial and scientific community in an organization belonging to NOT.

He is an active member of many associations, including. Association of Engineers and Technicians of Chemical Industry, Poznań Branch, (Board Member), Polish Society of Composite Materials, Polish Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association, Polish Zeolite Association. In 2020, he was appointed by the Marshal of the Wielkopolskie Voivodship as a chairman of the science panel of the Wielkopolska hydrogen platform, and was elected for another term in 2022. In December 2021, initiator and first chairman of the Hydrogen section of the Association of Engineers and Technicians of Chemical Industry. He is a leader of the Technology Hall Team, a research group that conducts extensive research, in the area of chemistry applications in materials, including on behalf of companies. He has authored and co-authored more than 120 publications and 15 patent applications. His team prepared more than 200 research papers and expert opinions for industry (including the country’s largest chemical companies) between 2018 and 2021. He cooperates with many scientific institutions, IMN CLAIO, Poznań University of Life Sciences, Poznań University of Economics and Business, UMCS, Białystok University of Technology, Warsaw University of Technology, Wrocław University of Technology, Poznań University of Technology, Maria Curie–Skłodowska University.
