I was born in Kedzierzyn-Kozle, Poland. I graduated from the Faculty of Chemistry of Opole University in 1997. My M.S. Thesis was prepared in the Physical Chemistry Group of the Opole University under a guidance of prof. dr hab. inz. W. Waclawek and in the Department of Spectroscopy of Excited States of the Institute of Low Temperature and Structure Research Polish Academy of Sciences in Wroclaw under a guidance of dr inz. K. Maruszewski. It resulted also in the publication "Silicate Xerogels with Dopant Induced Chirality" J. Sol-Gel Sci. Techn., 1998, 13, 585. I begun my doctoral study at the Department of Spectroscopy of Excited States of the Institute of Low Temperature and Structure Research Polish Academy of Sciences in Wroclaw in the group lead by prof. W. Strek. During my graduate study at ILTSR PAS In Wroclaw I worked also in the Chemistry Department of Opole University (1997-2000). I obtained my Ph.D. degree in 2003 for Thesis: "Synthesis and Spectroscopy Properties of Silica Glasses Doped With Organic and Inorganic Molecules, Prepared by the Sol-Gel Method" under a guidance of prof. dr hab. inz. K. Maruszewski. After my graduation I begun to work in the Faculty of Mechanics of the Wroclaw University of Technology. I am/was involved in 5 Polish grants concerning various sol-gel materials. I am a Principal Researcher in one of them. I am a member of the European Center of Excellence "Sol-Gel Materials and Nanotechnology" (SGM&N; sgmn.immt.pwr.wroc.pl). I was awarded two Gold Medals during the World Exhibitions of Innovation, Research and New Technologies Eureka in Brussels. The Medals were awarded in 2002 and 2003. I participated in approx. 15 international conferences in Poland and abroad. I am an author of 28 published papers. I have two patents. I was a member of the Organization Committees for ten conferences, including the "Sol-Gel Materials" International Conferences Series (Rokosowo, Poland, 2001; Szklarska Poreba, Poland 2003; Wroclaw 2004, Poland).
