Piotr Kaszynski

Piotr Kaszynski is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Middle Tennessee State University and concurrently holds the position of Professor at the Centre of Molecular and Macromolecular Studies of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Łódź, Poland. His academic work spans multiple chemistry subdisciplines with a focus on novel material synthesis and characterization.

Dr. Kaszynski's research explores the intersection of organic, inorganic, and materials chemistry, particularly emphasizing:

• Design and engineering of liquid crystalline materials for electro-optical applications
• Synthesis and analysis of organic radicals including benzo[e][1,2,4]triazinyls and 6-oxoverdazyls
• Development of polar mesogens and zwitterionic compounds
• Structure-property relationships in functional materials

His publications (2016-2017) predominantly investigate heterocyclic radical chemistry, liquid crystalline behavior, and molecular design strategies. Research demonstrates consistent themes of fluorination effects, chirality induction, magnetic property modulation, and applications in advanced materials. Key journals include J. Am. Chem. Soc., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., and Inorg. Chem.
