Biography

I graduated from the Gdańsk University of Technology (GUT) in June 1981. In March 1981 I was employed at the Chemical Faculty of that University. I have been linked with the Chemical Faculty at GUT throughout my entire professional career up to the current post of full professor and Head of the Department of Electrochemistry, Corrosion and Materials Engineering. I am active in the field of technical sciences.
My research area covers non-linear impedance measurements and impedance measurements under non-stationary conditions. I have a well-established, high international position in this field, as evidenced by my membership in the scientific committees of the biggest cyclic international conferences on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, as well as membership on the editorial boards of many scientific journals. My main scientific achievement is the development of the theoretical fundamentals of the Dynamic Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (DEIS) and its implementation into practice. This novel, original measurement method creates new, unique measurement opportunities overcoming the basic limitation of the classical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), namely the static character of the investigated system. The DEIS method enabled broadening the spectrum of impedance spectroscopy applications into new, non-stationary fields of electrochemistry and corrosion. The DEIS method was successfully implemented by me to study pitting corrosion, intergranular corrosion, mechanical properties of passive layers, as well as impedance mapping of surface and local nanoimpedance measurements. In addition, the DEIS method is an effective research tool for electrochemical and fuel cells.
