Full Description: Dr. Bartosz Marcin Lewandowski is a lecturer at ETH Zurich, Department of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences, since 2016. His academic journey includes postdoctoral research at ETH Zurich (2013-2016), University of Edinburgh (2009-2012), and University of Manchester (2012-2013) under Nobel laureate Prof. David A. Leigh. He earned his Ph.D. (2009) from the Institute of Organic Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences, supervised by Prof. Sławomir Jarosz, with a thesis on sucrose-based macrocyclic receptors. His M.Sc. (2004) at Warsaw University of Technology focused on γ-halocarbanion precursors under Prof. Mieczysław Mąkosza.
Research interests lie in creating synthetic systems that emulate biological functions, particularly supramolecular assemblies for molecular recognition and catalysis. His work includes designing glucose-derived receptors for enantioselective binding, switchable rotaxane catalysts, and artificial molecular machines for sequence-specific synthesis. He has contributed to understanding PPII helical oligoprolines and template-driven catalytic reactions.
Publications (15 most recent) demonstrate expertise in organic synthesis, catalysis, and molecular nanotechnology. Notable works include a 2023 Nature Synthesis paper on programmable templates for oligomerization and a 2013 Science study on molecular machines for peptide synthesis. Collaborations with leading researchers like Prof. Helma Wennemers and Prof. David A. Leigh highlight his role in advancing synthetic molecular systems.
Dr. Lewandowski's contributions span asymmetric catalysis, supramolecular chemistry, and molecular machine design, with applications in chemical synthesis and biomimetic systems. His full bibliography includes book chapters and reviews on carbohydrate chemistry and molecular assembly techniques.
