Radosław Górecki

Research Interests

My research interests include polymer science, particularly physical chemistry behind the self-assembly of block copolymers and use of the polymer materials for membrane technology. I also work with the upscaling and pilot production processes, bringing academia and the industry together. I am fascinated by advanced electron microscopy methods, especially transmission electron microscopy.
