Prof. wiz. Artur Ciesielski
Artur Ciesielski is a Visiting Professor at the Center for Advanced Technologies at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, Poland and distinguished CNRS Research Director (DR2) at the Institut de Science et d'Ingénierie Supramoléculaires (ISIS) at the Université de Strasbourg in France. With a strong foundation in chemistry, he earned his M.Sc. from Adam Mickiewicz University and his Ph.D. from the Université de Strasbourg, followed by a habilitation (HDR) in 2016.
His research focuses on the design, synthesis, and application of functional two-dimensional (2D) materials, including graphene, covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and transition metal dichalcogenides, for energy storage, sensing, and environmental applications. Dr. Ciesielski has made significant contributions to the field of supramolecular chemistry and nanotechnology, particularly in the liquid-phase exfoliation of 2D materials and their integration into multifunctional devices.
He has coordinated and participated in numerous national and European projects. His research has been recognized with prestigious awards such as the Catalán-Sabatier Award (2022) and the Outstanding Pole in France Award (2019). Committed to bridging academia and industry, Dr. Ciesielski explores the translational potential of 2D materials, from graphene-based cement composites for structural health monitoring to MXene hybrids for biomedical applications. His interdisciplinary approach combines chemistry, materials science, and engineering to address global challenges in energy, health, and sustainability.
