Tomasz graduated from Gdańsk University of Technology, Poland, in 2009 (magister inżynier (mgr), equivalent to MEng, Master of Engineering in Chemical Technology) and earned his doctoral degree in the field of inorganic synthesis (highly sensitive magnesium cluster chemistry) with Prof. Hansgeorg Schnöckel at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany, in 2015. After working in industry, Tomasz continued to pursue an academic career and moved to the U.S. to join the Stollenz Group as full-time postdoctoral research scientist in inorganic/synthetic chemistry. He is interested and trained in various fields of inorganic synthesis, coordination chemistry, crystallography, computational chemistry, as well as photoluminescence and NMR spectroscopy.
