MSc Damian Makowski
CHAIRMAN
of
administration
I am a PhD student at the Faculty of Chemistry, University of Gdansk. I am developing my interests, related to nano- technology, by pursuing my doctoral thesis at the Department of Environmental Technology. I am currently working on the synthesis of composites based on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) derivatives and quantum dots in order to use these materials in photocatalytic reactions. In my free time I like to watch horror movies, play computer games and cook.
