Post-doctoral Researcher

Anna joined our research group in January 2025, after she earned her PhD (2024) from the Indian Institute of Technology Palakkad (India). Her research is focused on designing and synthesizing sequence-defined macromolecules for molecular sensing, protein interactions, and antibacterial applications. Outside the lab, she likes to unleash her creative side by picking up a paintbrush, diving into a good book, or whipping up something delicious in the kitchen.

Wojciech Dudziak, MSc

PhD Candidate

Wojciech studied Chemical Engineering at Newcastle University, UK, and obtained his bachelor’s degree in 2021. As a Master student, he focused on medical chemistry at the University of Wrocław. Wojciech joined our group in October 2022 as a scholar in the PolyDigit project. Currently, he is pursuing his PhD at Adam Mickiewicz University working in our group on fluorescent sequence-defined polymers. In his spare time he enjoys singing, music production, running and watching movies.

Dominika Kucharska, MSc

PhD Candidate

Dominika Kucharska holds an MSc Eng. degree in the Chemistry of Organic Compounds and Polymers. Her scientific background includes enzyme specificity and the development of targeted anticancer therapies. She gained experience in the industrial sector as a Quality and Production Technology Engineer, as well as a Synthetic Chemist for a drug discovery company. In July 2025, she joined our group to work on the design of abiotic enzymes. In her free time, she enjoys spending time outdoors – rock climbing, slack-lining, and hiking.

Kasper Witruk, MSc

PhD Candidate

Kasper Witruk is a doctoral student in the discipline of chemical sciences at Wrocław University of Science and Technology, under Prof. Tadeusz Andruniów and Dr. hab. Roza Szweda. He has earned a Master’s degree in Chemistry and Engineering Materials, with a focus on Advanced Functional Materials. Kasper developed his expertise on molecular dynamics modelling through research on the theoretical examination of selected chemical bonds in MOF materials (Engineering thesis), and the theoretical modelling of controlled molecular gates mounted on MOFs (Master’s thesis).

Yasin Yusif, MSc

PhD Candidate

Yasin graduated with a BSc in Chemistry from Baku State University in 2023. He continued with his MSc at Adam Mickiewicz University and joined our team in February 2025 as a research volunteer. He is passionate about organic and polymer chemistry, and his research focuses on polyurethanes and their helical structures. He defended his thesis in June 2026 and will continue in our group as PhD candidate. In his free time, he enjoys drawing comics and swimming.

Alicja Podemska, BSc

Master’s Student

Alicja received her BSc in Chemistry from Adam Mickiewicz University in 2025 and is currently pursuing an MSc at the same institution. Since joining the team in October 2025, she has been involved in research related to polymer-based sensing. Her master’s thesis focuses on the detection of bioactive water contaminants using sequence-defined polymers. Outside academia, she enjoys horse riding, reading books, and drinking coffee.
