⚛️ Gdańsk Tech researchers have received funding from the National Science Centre Poland under the MINIATURA 10 programme. Among them is Michał Piłat, PhD Eng., an alumnus of our Doctoral School. 👏

His project focuses on developing the multiconfiguration Dirac–Fock method - one of the most advanced computational approaches used in quantum mechanics.

During a research visit to Vilnius University, he will work on extending the method to calculate parameters describing inelastic electron-atom collisions. The results may support research into astronomical and laboratory plasma, including processes occurring during supernova explosions and in tokamaks. 💻🔭

It’s another step in Michał research career and an example of how expertise developed within the Gdańsk Tech academic community can lead to advanced research and international collaboration. 👏

🧬 The latest issue of Nature Communications features research co-authored by scientists from Gdańsk Tech, including our PhD student Michał Jurkowski, MSc Eng., and Kazi A. Hossain, PhD, a graduate of our Doctoral School. 👏

As members of the international Ascona B-DNA Consortium, they contributed to one of the largest computational studies of DNA ever conducted. Their work helped analyse and visualise an extraordinary 0.25 petabytes of data, advancing our understanding of DNA mechanics while supporting the development of future AI-powered research tools. 💻🧠

We are proud to see members of our doctoral community contributing to research that lays the foundation for future scientific discoveries. 👏

Science worth talking about 🎙️

After being recognized among the top 100 young researchers in Poland in the START programme by the Foundation for Polish Science, Aleksandra Mirowska, Ph.D., Eng. and Patryk Błaszczak, Ph.D., Eng. joined Radio Gdańsk to talk about their research and why technologies concern all of us.

Congratulations once again! Sharing research with the public is an important part of science, and we're proud to see our researchers contributing to that mission.

Inżynieria materiałowa oraz pomiary powierzchni - choć brzmi bardzo naukowo, dotyczą każdego z nas. O tym przekonywali w rozmowie z Joanna Matuszewską dr inz. Aleksandra Mirowska z Zakładu Technologii Maszyn i Automatyzacji Produkcji na Wydziale Inżynierii Mechanicznej i Okrętownictwa Polit...

🧪🦷 How do you connect capturing CO₂ from industrial emissions with modern dentistry? And how do you complete a PhD in chemistry while studying dentistry at the same time?! 🤯

Meet Dr Eng. Joachim Eichenlaub, a graduate of our Doctoral School who proves that true scientific passion knows no boundaries!

In Prof. Adam Kloskowski's research team at the Faculty of Chemistry, Joachim applied QSPR modeling to investigate ionic liquids as potential "green" solvents and carbon dioxide absorbents. ♻️ Today, as a researcher and lecturer at the Medical University of Gdańsk, he applies similar modeling approaches to dental materials and is launching new collaborative research on the antibacterial potential of ionic liquids with researchers from the Faculty of Chemistry at Gdańsk Tech. 🤝

💬 "Studying at the Doctoral School involves sacrifices, but it brings immense satisfaction. What matters most is being part of a great research team and having a supportive supervisor. That is when you can do serious science."

Beyond research, Joachim is passionate about teaching and especially enjoys working with first-year students, helping them build confidence and discover their potential. 👨‍🏫

From chemistry and environmental technologies to dentistry and healthcare, Joachim's journey reflects what we value at our Doctoral School: curiosity, interdisciplinarity, and research that creates connections across scientific fields. At Politechnika Gdańska, such collaborations often lead to innovative discoveries, and his story is a perfect example. 🚀

Jak przewidzieć właściwości związków bez drogich i czasochłonnych eksperymentów? Dr inż. Joachim Eichenlaub, absolwent Szkoły Doktorskiej i Wydziału Chemicznego na Politechnice Gdańskiej wykorzystał modelowanie matematyczne, które pozwala na powiązanie struktury chemicznej cząsteczek z ich właściwościami fizykochemicznymi. Badał głównie ciecze jonowe jako pochłaniacze dwutlenku węgla ze spalin. Teraz będzie rozwijać te badania w stomatologii.

🚀 Exploring the cosmos from the labs of Gdańsk Tech!

Did you know over 300 chemical compounds have been found in interstellar space? 🧑‍🔬 Our alumna, Dr. Eng. Natalia Tańska-Witczak, dedicated her PhD to understanding exactly how these molecules survive out there.

Supported by our Doctoral School and conducting her research at the Faculty of Applied Physics and Mathematics, she delivered pioneering data on electron-molecule interactions - it’s a perfect example of the world-class science you can pursue at Gdańsk Tech!

👇 Check out the full story below.

🚀Odkrywamy tajemnice kosmosu! W przestrzeni międzygwiazdowej zidentyfikowano już ponad 300 związków chemicznych. Naukowcy z całego świata badają, w jaki sposób powstają te cząsteczki i jak potrafią przetrwać w ekstremalnych warunkach panujących w kosmosie.

Dr inż. Natalia Tańska-Witczak, absolwentka Doctoral School at Gdańsk University of Technology i adiunktka na Wydział Fizyki Technicznej i Matematyki Stosowanej PG, jest autorką rozprawy doktorskiej poświęconej oddziaływaniom elektronów z cząsteczkami ważnymi dla zrozumienia zjawisk chemicznych występujących w przestrzeni kosmicznej.

✨Jej badania dostarczają danych, które mogą znaleźć zastosowanie w modelowaniu procesów zachodzących w atmosferze planet i przestrzeni międzygwiazdowej.

Wyniki pomiarów absolutnych przekrojów czynnych na rozpraszanie elektronów są pierwszymi takimi wynikami dostępnymi w literaturze dla badanych cząsteczek." .👏

Promotorem rozprawy był dr hab. Paweł Możejko, prof. PG, dziekan WFiMS (dane z badań realizowanych przez prof. Możejko zostały wykorzystane m.in. przy określaniu zawartości glicyny w komie komety 67P/Czuriumow-Gierasimienko).
