Dorota Pawlak
Dorota Pawlak obtained her PhD/habilitation in chemistry from the University of Warsaw. She was a Head of the Department of Functional Materials at ITME, Leader of the Laboratory of Materials Technologies at UW, first coordinator of a collaborative NMP FP7 EU-funded Project in all new member states, holding grants from such national institutions as FNP, NCN, NCBR and foreign institutions as the Air Force Office for Scientific Research in U.S. Currently she leads Teaming for Excellence H2020 and IRAP projects and is the president of the board of the ENSEMBLE3 Centre of Excellence, working on the interface between crystal growth, nanophotonics and new materials concepts. She proposed utilizing the crystal growth techniques for metamaterials and plasmonic materials applications – which is a novel idea within the world research community. What is worth mentioning, the ENSEMBLE3 Centre of Excellence is the only research institute from Poland (and one of seven from Europe) to be a member of the Technology Council for Advanced Materials, created by European Commission for strengthening the advanced materials ecosystem in Europe.
