Dr hab. Bartosz Szyszko, prof. UWr is a member of the AMU PAN
Dr hab. Bartosz Szyszko, prof. UWr has been elected as a new member of the Academy of Young Scientists of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
The Academy of Young Scientists was established in 2010 under the Act of 30 April on the Polish Academy of Sciences. AMU members are selected by recognised scientists from among young researchers distinguished by outstanding scientific achievements. Members of the AMU include individuals working at universities, institutes of the Polish Academy of Sciences, research institutes and other units conducting scientific research in Poland.
The AMU’s activities include: giving opinions, making appeals, issuing positions on matters of Science and important to science, organising debates, discussions and scientific conferences, popularising science, disseminating ethical standards among young scientists.
AMU is also active internationally. It is a member of the European National Young Academies network, chairs the Young Academies Science Advice Structure network, which is part of the European Science Advice Mechanism for Policy, and cooperates with other Young Academies on science policy or the dialogue between science and society, among other issues.
Dr hab. Bartosz Szyszko, prof. UWr completed his Master’s degree in 2010 pursuing a programme of specialisation in biological chemistry and specialisation in organic chemistry as an individual course of study. In 2014, he defended with distinction his PhD thesis on the synthesis, reactivity and coordination chemistry of acenoporphyrinoids, whose supervisor was Prof. Lechosław Latos-Grażyński. In 2015, dr hab. Szyszko, prof. UWr, completed a postdoctoral fellowship in prof. Jonathan Nitschke’s group at the Department of Chemistry, University of Cambridge, during which he conducted work on the synthesis of supramolecular cages using the self-association method from subcomponents. His habilitation (2021) was dedicated to the use of porphyrinoids as building blocks for supramolecular systems.
Since 2023, dr hab. Szyszko, prof. UWr, has been employed as a professor at the University of Wrocław in the Department of Organic Chemistry, Faculty of Chemistry. From 2017 to 2024, dr hab. Szyszko, prof. UWr, headed the student-created Advanced Synthesis Methods laboratory, and since 2021 he has headed the Research Team for Organic Supramolecular Chemistry (www.bszyszko.pl). During the 2020-2024 term, he served as Associate Dean for General Affairs.
After his habilitation, dr hab. Szyszko, prof. UWr, initiated a new thematic line at the Faculty of Chemistry, University of Wrocław, focused on the synthesis and structure of mechanically locked systems. His research interests are in the area of macrocyclic and supramolecular chemistry. Research topics carried out in the team are related to the synthesis, properties, structure and dynamics of macrocyclic compounds and supramolecular architectures such as molecular cages and mechanically locked systems (knots, plexuses, rotaxanes).
Prof. Szyszko is the author and co-author of 34 scientific articles published in prestigious chemistry journals, including Angewandte Chemie, Journal of the American Chemical Society and Nature Communications. He is currently directing three NCN projects (SONATA BIS, OPUS, Prelude BIS).
For his scientific work, he has been awarded with prestigious awards and community distinctions, including the W. Kolos Award (PAN), the Iuvenes Wratislaviae Award (PAN Wrocław), the START Scholarship (FNP), the Scholarship for Young Scientists (MNiSW) and the Max Born Scholarship.
Congratulations!
