Biography
Dr. Piotr Kuśtrowski is the Professor of Chemistry in Jagiellonian University. His Qualifications includes: Habilitation, 2007, Jagiellonian University PhD, 2000, Jagiellonian University MSc, 1995, Jagiellonian University. He is the Head of Organic Technology research group (since 2008). His main research topics includes: Synthesis of novel hydrotalcite-like layered materials modified with transition metal cations (e.g. Cu2+, Ni2+, Fe3+, Cr3+) and various interlayer anions (e.g. dicarboxylic anions, polyoxoanions); Application of molecular designed dispersion method for modifi cation of mesoporous molecular sieves (e.g. MCM-48, SBA-15, MCF,MSU-x) with transition metal oxides; Development of new catalytic processes for olefi n production – oxidative dehydrogenation of saturated hydrocarbons with carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide; Activation of natural and synthetic inorganic materials for the N2O decomposition; Investigation of acidic and basic properties of inorganic materials by test reactions (e.g. MBOH conversion, aldol condensation, cumene cracking, isopropanol conversion); Development of new types of adsorbents and catalysts for removal of air and water pollutants by selective adsorption and total oxidation processes; Synthesis of high surface area silicas and aluminosilicas using polymer matrices based on swelling cross-linked gels.
