Dr Piotr Pander completed his doctoral studies at the Department of Physics of Durham University in the UK in 2020. From 2019 to 2021, he was a postdoc at the same Department under the supervision of prof. Fernando B. Dias, while in 2021 he was appointed as assistant professor under the IDUB programme at the Faculty of Chemistry, Silesian University of Technology. Broadly speaking, in his research work Dr Pander studies and designs molecular luminescent systems. His interests include both visible and near-infrared light luminophores, which can be used in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), among others.

Research interests:

• molecular design,
• near-infrared luminophores,
• photophysics,
• organic light-emitting diodes OLED,
• computational chemistry,
• electrochemistry,
• synthetic chemistry.
