Karolina Kozanecka joined the Applied Photochemistry Team in October 2023, during her first year of studies in Chemical Technology. Soon after, she became involved in the LIDER13/0156/2022 project, led by Monika Topa-Skwarczyńska.
As part of the project, Karolina has developed expertise in spectroscopic and kinetic studies of new initiating systems. She has also conducted research on novel formulations for 3D printing, specifically designed for dental applications.
Her research findings have been presented at prestigious international conferences, including XV International Conference “Horizons of Science” and 12th European Young Engineers Conference
Karolina’s dedication and achievements have been recognized through awards and scholarships:
- Second place among first-cycle students at the Faculty Session of Scientific Circles at Tadeusz Kościuszko Cracow University of Technology
- Scholarship for students of the Cracow University of Technology from the Own Scholarship Fund (Winter recruitment for the 2023/2024 academic year: February – July 2024)
