Biography
Malgorzata Bayda received her Ph.D. in chemistry from the Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznan, Poland (2009) working under supervision of Prof. Bronislaw Marciniak. She had 4 external positions: short-term research positions at Radiation Laboratory, University of Notre Dame, USA working with Dr. Gordon L. Hug (2008, 2015) and postdoctoral associate positions in Professor Jack Saltiel’s research laboratory at the Florida State University, USA (2010-2011, 2012). Since 2009 she works as assistant professor (teaching and research) at AMU. She has her expertise in photophysics and photochemistry of organosilicon compounds using steady-state and time-resolved absorption and emission spectroscopy. Her earlier work was focused on a cis/trans photoisomerization of p-phenylene-silylene-vinylene polymers. Recently, her scientific interest turned toward searching for an attractive organosilicon light-emitting materials. To improve performance of such materials through rational molecular design she investigates excited-state processes between silylene-bridged chromophores focussing on a role of silicon atom in these processes.
