Lecture by prof. Marta Krasowska at the Faculty of Biotechnology
As part of the visiting professor programme implemented under the Excellence Initiative – Research University project, the Faculty of Biotechnology at the University of Wrocław will host prof. Marta Krasowska from the University of South Australia (Australia). During her visit, the professor will give an open lecture entitled ‘Isolating the interface of an emulsion using X-ray scattering and tensiometry to understand protein-modulated alkylglyceride crystallisation’.
The meeting will take place on 11 September 2025 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. in Lecture Hall 1.05 of the Faculty of Biotechnology at the University of Wrocław, ul. F. Joliot-Curie 14a. The event is organised by dr Anna Jaromin from the Department of Lipids and Liposomes of the Faculty of Biotechnology at the University of Wrocław.
Bio
Marta Krasowska is a Professor in Physical Chemistry at the Future Industries Institute, University of South Australia (soon to be Adelaide University), where her research focuses on the interactions between soft and rigid interfaces and the physicochemical properties of such interfaces. She employs a diverse range of techniques, including tensiometry, light and x-ray scattering, FTIR, XPS, AFM, interferometry, and high-speed videography to investigate thin film formation and the structural and functional properties of foams and emulsions.
She is passionate about bridging fundamental science with real-world applications, translating fundamental research into practical solutions that benefit industry and society.
Marta currently serves as Vice President of the Australasian Colloid and Interface Society (ACIS) and has previously chaired both the User Advisory Committee and the IRM Programme Committee for Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) Australian Synchrotron. Her leadership experience within Australia’s national research infrastructure reflects her commitment to advancing colloid and interface science research and fostering collaboration within the scientific community.
