Biography

Tomasz Kowalewski is a Professor of Chemistry with a research focus on physical chemistry and a wide range of interdisciplinary topics. His work includes atomic force microscopy, proximal probe techniques, organic electronics, and the study of nano-structured materials. Kowalewski's research group is particularly engaged in the self-assembly of organic materials and the characterization of nanostructures, with a significant emphasis on the role of new nanostructured materials in device fabrication and characterization. Some of the key long-term projects within his group involve the development of novel nanostructured carbons, particularly porous nanographenes, and exploring the structure-transport properties relationships of semiconducting polymers and organic photovoltaics. He is also actively involved in advancing application techniques using atomic force microscopy, focusing on structure-property studies at the nanoscale level.
