Biography
Dr. Gintautas Bagdžiūnas received his Ph.D. in organic chemistry in 2012 under the supervision of Prof. E. Butkus at Vilnius University, focusing on organic synthesis, chirality, and supramolecular chemistry. Subsequently, he joined Prof. J. Gražulevičius’ group, where he worked on the theoretical modelling of organic semiconductors for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Since 2017, he has been a postdoctoral fellow in Prof. A. Ramanavičius’ group, focusing on developing and studying biosensors based on organic semiconductors and theoretical modelling. Later, until 2024, he worked as a senior researcher in the Department of Functional Materials and Electronics, Center for Physical Sciences and Technology. Here, he studied the electronic properties of supramolecular organic compounds and biomolecules in a strong magnetic field. Dr. G. Bagdžiūnas is a senior researcher at the Institute of Biochemistry, Life Sciences Center of Vilnius University, and he heads the Supramolecular Analysis and Bioelectronics Group. His research and teaching interests are centred on enzymatic electrochemical and optical biosensors for detecting various analytes in general healthcare, food quality, and neurotransmitter monitoring. His expertise lies in bioelectrochemistry, direct charge transfer through proteins, electrode modification, (bio)organic chemistry, bioconjugation of enzymes, bioelectronics, and theoretical computations.
