Biography
Dr. Wieslaw Lasocha is the Professor of Chemistry in Jagiellonian University. He has worked in laboratories in the USA and the Netherlands co-operating with Professors Harry Eick and Henk Schenk (past president of the International Union of Crystallography). Since 1997 his group has closely co-operated with the International Centre for Diffraction Data (USA) on powder diffraction characterisation of new materials. He has authored and co-authored over 100 scientific papers. Since 2005, he is also the Head of the Laboratory of X-ray Diffraction in the Institute of Catalysis of the PAS. His Areas of research and techniques includes: Structural studies of materials using powder diffraction data; Optimisation and testing of new methods of structural powder diffraction, Inorganic synthesis and structural investigations of new fi brillar and layered hybrid inorganic-organic materials, new isopolycompounds of aliphatic and aromatic amines, and of new peroxomolybdates, peroxovanadates and peroxotungstates, Investigations of the objects of cultural heritage by X-ray methods.
