Tomasz Uchacz, PhD

Tomasz joined the group in 2015 as a young doctor of chemistry specialising in the study of the photophysical properties of organic compounds and the analysis of electron transfer processes. From the beginning of his work in the group, he has been involved in the study of photophysical phenomena in photoactive polymer brushes and polymer nanocapsules. At the same time, he continued his research on the design of fluorescent sensors and chromophores with potential applications in optoelectronics and photovoltaics. In 2019, he obtained a postdoctoral degree in chemistry. In 2020, he completed a one-month internship in Professor Ivan G. Scheblykin's group in Sweden, during which he conducted measurements of polythiophene polymer brushes using single-molecule fluorescence microscopy techniques. In 2020, he received an NCN Miniatura grant for the synthesis and study of new organic compounds based on the pyrazoline structure for nonlinear optics. Since 2022, Tomasz has been participating in the NCN Sheng-2 grant, conducting research on the influence of the polymer matrix on the reversibility of thermochromic transformations in polydiacetylenes and energy transfer processes in polymer nanocapsules.
