Rafael Wiglusz earned his MSc and PhD in chemistry from the University of Wrocław in 1999 and 2004, respectively. After a post-doc fellowship at the Institute of Inorganic Chemistry, University of Cologne in 2005-2006, he earned his DSc (habilitation) in chemistry at the Institute of Low Temperature and Structure Research, Polish Academy of Sciences (ILT&SR PAS) in 2013, and became a professor in 2020. His research objectives lie in the preparation of nanometer-sized oxides, metallic, and magnetic particles, followed by the creation of periodically ordered nanostructures based on single nanoparticles. Moreover, the research deals with the effect of the hydrolytic and nonhydrolytic reaction conditions on structural, luminescence and magnetic properties of complex metal oxide nanoparticles showing prospects in bio-imaging applications. A small particle size implies high sensitivity and selectivity. These new effects and possibilities are mainly due to quantum effects that are a result of the increasing ratio of surface to volume atoms in lowdimensional systems. An important factor in this context so far has been the design and fabrication of nanocomponents with/displaying new functionalities and characteristics for the improvement of existing materials; including photonic materials, conductive materials, polymers and biocomposites. With this concept of nanotechnology in mind, the aim is to develop innovative products and application options in electronics and biomedicine, based solely on nanoscale technology.

 

Research interests:

Nanotechnology: organic and inorganic nanosized materials for theranostics.
