Dear Guest,
Thank you very much for visiting my page.
My name is Mariusz Łukaszewski. I studied chemistry at Faculty of Chemistry of Warsaw University and obtained M.Sc. degree in 2001. Then, in 2006, I received my Ph.D. I worked for Industrial Chemistry Research Institute, Institute of Physical Chemistry of Polish Academy of Sciences and Warsaw University.
My scientific interests are connected with the following topics:
- electrochemistry of noble metals and their alloys
- preparation and characterization of noble metal alloys by electrochemical, microscopic and spectroscopic methods
- hydrogen absorption in palladium and palladium alloys under electrochemical conditions
- thin solid films
- electrocatalysis
- electrochemical processes of carbon oxides on noble metals and their alloys
- electrochemical capacitors
- electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance
- surface electrochemistry
- electrode materials for fuel cells
I am open to every kind of co-operation in the above fields.
