Piotr Paneth

Piotr Paneth is a Professor at the Faculty of Chemistry, Technical University of Lodz, specializing in isotope effects theory and applications. His research spans biochemical reaction mechanisms, environmental isotope fractionation, drug design, and theoretical modeling of chemical processes.

Key contributions include:

• Development of ISOEFF98 software for isotope effect studies
• Pioneering work on chlorine kinetic isotope effects in environmental and enzymatic systems
• DFT modeling of degradation mechanisms for environmental contaminants

His work integrates computational chemistry with experimental approaches to study enzyme catalysis, environmental remediation, and isotopic authentication methods. Research has been supported by EU Marie Curie actions and national science grants.
