Biography

Mateusz Nowicki graduated maxima cum laude with a degree in chemistry from Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan, Poland, where he currently continues his academic career as a doctoral candidate. He has been awarded a scholarship by the Minister of Science and Higher Education of Poland for outstanding scientific achievements. His plans for the nearest future include submitting a research proposal to the National Science Centre of Poland and applying for Fulbright Junior Research Award in order to conduct a research project in the United States.

Abstract

His scientific interests involve the application of computational methods based on quantum chemistry, especially density functional theory (DFT), in studying research problems in various branches of chemistry, such as drug chemistry, organometallic chemistry, organophosphorus chemistry, and others. Specifically, Nowicki’s research focuses on the mechanisms of chemical transformations, including catalytic processes, photochemical degradation of drugs and dynamic stereochemistry.
