Dr Juliana Souza-Kasprzyk
Independent Technician

ORCID: 0000-0003-2307-8006

Biographical note:
She is a Brazilian biologist with PhD degree in biology and chemistry. Her research is focused on polar ecotoxicology and currently, she is studying chemical elements in soil samples from Spitsbergen (Arctic) and King George Island (Antarctica) aiming to understand the impact of contaminants in both regions.

AMU representative at EPICUR Early Career Research Board.

MSc Yana Tkachenko
PhD Student

ORCID: 0000-0001-9057-2587 

Biographical note:
She is Ukrainian chemistry teacher and PhD student in Chemistry at AMU. Her research interests are focused in polar contamination and the problem of climate change.

Dr Joanna Pacyńska
Doctor

Biographical note:
She is an employee of the Chemical Research Laboratory of the Provincial Veterinary Inspectorate in Poznań and PhD Student at AMU. She deals with the determination of chemical residue using LC/MS/MS method in food of animal origin and in feed, including drugs and coccidiostats. Her researches focus particularly on the development of new procedures for determining drug residues in food, their validation and implementation.

MSc Aleksandra Proch
PhD Student

ORCID: 0000-0003-2941-930X

Biographical note:
She is a PhD student at the AMU Doctoral School (chemical sciences). Her research is focused on developing new methods of speciation analysis based on hyphenated techniques (among others HPLC-ICP MS) and their further use in scientific research. Her master’s thesis, which was supervised by Professor Niedzielski, received a distinction.

MSc Zofia Wojciechowska
PhD Student

ORCID: 0000-0002-1139-8697

Biographical note:
She is a PhD student at the AMU Doctoral School. The subject of her research is to establish basic model of arsenic phytoextraction and tolerance of C4 perennial grasses on the example of Miscanthus × giganteus as part of the project of OPUS 21. Her scientific interests also include food analytics and toxicology.

MSc Anna Różewska

PhD student

ORCID: 0000-0002-5061-7303

Biographical note:
She is a PhD student at the Adam Mickiewicz University Doctoral School (chemical sciences). The subject of her work is the optimization of modern analytical methods such as LIBS and LA–ICP MS spectrometry in order to develop tools enabling precise analysis of plant samples from areas with intensive anthropogenic activity, which will allow for more accurate monitoring of changes in the environment.

MSc Wiktoria Zawrzykraj

PhD student

ORCID: 0009-0005-9970-5602

Biographical note:
She is a PhD candidate at the Adam Mickiewicz University Doctoral School (Chemical Sciences).Her research focuses on iron speciation in polar regions as a marker of environmental change, with the aim to better understand the mechanisms of iron mobilization and transformation under dynamic conditions of Arctic climate change.
