Łukasz studied chemistry at the Faculty of Chemistry, University of Wroclaw (Poland), receiving his PhD degree in Professor Sobota's research group and under his advisement. His main research interests are focused on organic-inorganic hybrid biomaterials, chemistry of metal alkoxides and organometallic compounds. He was a postdoctoral fellow at the Blaise Pascal University, Clermont-Ferrand (France) and joined the research groups of Prof. Jean-Marie Nedelec and Prof. Edouard Jallot. Since October, 1st 2014 he is a head of Laboratory of Chemical Technology at the Faculty of Chemistry, University of Wrocław. Lukasz enjoys latin and ballroom dances, cinema, and spending time with his friends and family.
