Biography
Dr. Waclaw Makowski is the Professor of Chemistry in Jagiellonian University. He is the Head of the Research Group for Catalysis and Solid State Chemistry. His group recent scientific activity is focused on the studies of porosity and surface chemistry of adsorbents and catalysts by means of thermodesorption of probe molecules. A considerable achievement in this fi eld was an application of the quasi-equilibrated thermodesorption of n-alkanes for the characterization of micro- and mesoporous materials, including their mesopore size distribution. Other fi elds of interests cover adsorption of organic compounds on porous solids as well as catalytic applications of the materials synthesized from double-layered hydroxides.
