Biography

In 1967 he graduated from the First High School in Inowrocław and started his studies at the Faculty of Chemistry of Gdańsk University of Technology. After graduating in 1972, he began his scientific career at this university, earning his degree in chemistry in 1978. The subject of his dissertation, conducted under the supervision of prof. Edmund Kozłowski was "The Determination of the total content of carbon and the content of organic carbon from volatile air pollutants". In 1985, on the basis of the dissertation "Concentration of volatile organic air pollutants", he obtained a degree of habilitated doctor, and the title of professor of chemical sciences received on 15 January 1996.

In 1990–1996 he was a Deputy Dean for Education of the Faculty of Chemistry of Gdańsk University of Technology, and in 1996–2002 and again 2005–2012 Dean of this Faculty.
