CEOS Chemistry

Biography:

Kamil Czelej received his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering at Warsaw University of Technology in 2018. Shortly after graduation, he was employed at the Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw, where he executed and managed the National Science Center – Sonatina III project in the field of solid-state physics and defects in wide band gap semiconductors. As a part of that project, he has been a visiting researcher at the University of California, Santa Barbara for 6 months. Since November 2022, he is employed at the Faculty of Chemical and Process Engineering, Warsaw University of Technology as a PI and Manager of the National Center for Research and Development – Lider XIII project titled: Novel technology of highly efficient synthesis gas production via dry photoreforming of methane in a flow system.His research expertise includes surface chemistry, catalysis, sustainable hydrogen production and nanomaterials design. In particular, he is interested in light-matter interactions, plasmonic enhanced chemistry and photocatalysis. He is the author of 20 per-reviewed papers in scientific international journals, 18 presentations at international conferences, 3 patent/patent applications and 5 trademarks. He was awarded the scholarship from the Polish Ministry of Education in 2020 and the START 2018 stipend from the Foundation for Polish Science.
