Natalia graduated from the Warsaw University of Technology with both Bachelor (2020) and Master of Science in Engineering degree in chemical technology (2021) in the specialisation of Functional Polymer, Electroactive and High Energetic Materials. She was working in the Team of Biomaterials and Polymers for Biomedical Applications, focusing on the synthesis of polycations with potentially antibacterial properties. In her undergraduate studies she obtained the library of rigid amphiphilic polymers having an extensive hydrophilic group and in her Master Thesis – new polycations containing an additional hydroxyl group. In the meantime she was working in the start-up on extraction and purification of Omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids from marine microalgae. Last year she spent working as a research assistant at the Institute of Organic Chemistry Polish Academy of Sciences, where she was planning, redesigning and performing syntheses in accordance with the research profile of her group, which were e.g. cyclophane and polycyclic aromatic compounds derivatives or building blocks for optoelectronic materials.
