dr Katarzyna Prorok
PhD Katarzyna Prorok received her MSc in Chemistry from the University of Wrocław in 2011 and her PhD in Chemistry from the Institute of Low Temperature and Structure Research Polish Academy of Sciences in 2016. From 2011 to 2019, she worked as a research assistant and research engineer at the Wrocław Research Centre EIT+/Łukasiewicz Research Network – PORT Polish Center for Technology Development. Since 2019, she holds the position of assistant professor at the Institute of Low Temperature and Structure Research and is a member of the Division of Biomedical Physicochemistry. She was the PI of the research project Preludium (National Science Centre, NCN). She was awarded the ETIUDA grant (National Science Centre), the START 2018 grant of the Foundation for Polish Science and the Award of the Minister of Science and Higher Education for Young Scientists for 2020-2023. She also led her own research project (NCN SONATA) entitled ‘Energy transfer between surface antenna and inorganic nanocrystals doped with lanthanide ions’.
PhD Katarzyna Prorok's interests and work are related to the synthesis and comprehensive (structural, morphological, spectroscopic) characterisation of colloidal luminescent nanoparticles doped with lanthanide ions. Her current interdisciplinary research focuses on optical spectroscopy, novel designs of lanthanide-doped nanoparticles, and optimisation of the spectral properties of the resulting materials.
