Ph.D. University of Manchester
Advisor: Daniele Leonori

Bartosz was born and raised in Poznań, Poland. He obtained his BSc and MSc at the University of Warsaw working on the sulfur-based olefination reactions in Dr. Michał Barbasiewicz group. For his PhD he moved to the UK, and worked in Prof. Daniele Leonori group at the University of Manchester. His research was mainly focused on halogen-atom transfer and its applications in copper catalysis. In October 2022, he joined the Lin lab as a postdoctoral researcher to learn electrochemistry and work on novel high-throughput experimentation methods.
