Key tool to substantially increase the impact of the Silesian University of Technology on the development of global science
This project involves the collaboration of the Silesian University of Technology (Poland) with leading research institutions: Monash University (Australia), National University of Singapore (Singapore), and Aalto University (Finland).
Academic mobility, intensive mentoring, and cutting-edge science carried out jointly with world's best scientists will considerably increase the level of research excellence to be better able to deal with the most pressing technological problems.
Coordinator
Prof. Dawid Janas
Vice-Dean for Research and Cooperation as well as Leader of Functional Nanomaterials Group based at Silesian University of Technology in Poland. his research focuses on the synthesis and application of carbon nanotubes and other advanced 1D/2D nanomaterials. His work is primarily dedicated to improving the electrical and optical properties of these materials for use in next-generation electronics, sensors, and photonic components.
Consortium Member
Prof. Douglas MacFarlane
Dr. Karolina Matuszek
The project partners lead pioneering research into ionic liquids and green chemistry, specifically focusing on developing sustainable materials for energy storage, carbon capture, and medical applications. Their work is central to advancing "green" ammonia production and electrochemical systems that aim to replace traditional, environmentally harmful solvents.
Consortium Member
Prof. Hai M. Duong
He is a leader in the field of advanced aerogels, specializing in converting various waste streams—such as plastic, rubber, and agricultural residues—into high-value porous materials. His research focuses on leveraging these "super-materials" for diverse environmental and industrial applications, including thermal insulation, oil spill remediation, and atmospheric water harvesting..
Consortium Member
Prof. Mari Lundström
She leads the Hydrometallurgy and Corrosion research group, focusing on the sustainable recovery and recycling of metals, particularly those critical to the green transition like lithium, cobalt, and nickel. Her work combines electrochemistry and process modeling to develop circular economy solutions for battery recycling and low-carbon metallurgical processes..
