Filip Ciesielczyk

Filip Ciesielczyk is a Professor at Poznań University of Technology, where he serves as Vice-Dean for Science (2020-2028) and holds multiple leadership positions including Chairman of the Senate Budget and Finance Committee. He is affiliated with the Faculty of Chemical Technology, specifically the Institute of Chemical Technology and Engineering.

His academic journey includes:

• 2003: Master of Science in Engineering (Environmental Protection)
• 2007: PhD in Chemical Sciences at Poznań University of Technology
• 2017: Habilitated Doctor (doktor habilitowany) in Chemical Sciences
• 2020: Awarded the position of University Professor

Professor Ciesielczyk's research focuses on inorganic chemical technology, particularly the design and characterization of functional oxide materials and their applications. His work spans surface chemistry, development of adsorbents and catalysts, polymer fillers, and environmental remediation technologies. He has pioneered methods for surface modification of oxide materials and designed novel systems for removing pollutants through adsorption and photocatalysis.

His recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate a strong focus on environmental applications of hybrid materials, particularly in wastewater treatment, heavy metal removal, and organic pollutant degradation. There's a clear trend toward biocatalytic systems combining enzymes with functional oxide supports, as well as innovative approaches to material synthesis including mechanochemical methods. His work bridges fundamental materials science with practical environmental engineering solutions.

Professor Ciesielczyk has received recognition through his editorial roles, including:

• Section Editor for Physicochemical Problems of Mineral Processing (Thomson Reuters JCR indexed, IF=1.5)
• Guest Editor for Materials (IF=3.4) special issue on "Multifunctional Oxide-Based Materials"

As an academic advisor, he has supervised doctoral dissertations including Ewelina Weidner's work on inorganic oxide matrices (2023) and Przemysław Bartczak's research on sorption capabilities of natural materials (2017). His research is supported through multiple collaborations with institutions including Kent State University, ŁUKASIEWICZ Research Network, Rzeszów University of Technology, and AGH University of Science and Technology in Kraków.

Professor Ciesielczyk leads a research group focused on functional oxide materials, with ongoing projects examining vanadium recovery systems, biocatalytic membrane technologies, and novel hybrid fillers for polymer composites. His team maintains strong international connections and regularly participates in major conferences on materials science and chemical engineering.
