Biography

Dr. habil. Mariusz Pietrowski was born in Koźmin Wielkopolski, where he graduated from high school. He continued his education at Adam Mickiewicz University (AMU) in Poznań and after his graduation he began to work at the Faculty of Chemistry of the above University. In 2001 he was granted a degree of Doctor of Chemical Sciences. In 2001-2006 he stayed three times at Henri Poincaré University in Nancy (France) as a postdoctoral fellow. In 2012 he received a degree of habilitated doctor. Dr. hab. Mariusz Pietrowski is an author and co-author of over 80 scientific papers which were cited over 700 times (according to Google Scholar). He is a member of the Polish Catalysis Club and the Polish Chemical Society.

From the very beginning of his scientific work, Dr. hab. M. Pietrowski has been involved in the activities of the Faculty of Chemistry, as well as in the life of the academic and student communities. This is proved by his membership in a number of committees. Dr. hab. Mariusz Pietrowski received several AMU Rector‘s awards for his scientific and organizational activities. His hobbies: astronomy and mountain climbing.
