ANNA ZIELIŃSKA-JUREK

Title of presentation:

Magnetically separable photocatalysts

Research work on photocatalysis by Dr. Anna Zielinska-Jurek started in 2006 when she was a PhD student at Gdansk University of Technology (Poland), including 3-month research stay at Hokkaido University, Training School “Environmental Applications of TiO₂ Photocatalysis” at University of Oulu in Finland granted by COST Program and Training School “NanoBiophotonics” at the Beckmann Institute, Urbana-Champaign in USA granted by University of Illinois. In 2011 she completed her PhD thesis titled: "Preparation and characterization of nanoparticles with antimicrobial and photocatalytic activity" at Gdansk University of Technology. Since then she has been studying preparation and characterization of visible light active photocatalysts, noble metals and photocatalytic purification of water and air. She is author and co-author of 16 patents and patent applications. At present, her research focuses on plasmonic photocatalysts and their environmental applications, separation of photocatalyst after purification process, photoreactor design and development.
