Dr. KAROLINA Z. MILOWSKA

Since 2022, Dr Karolina Z. Milowska is an Ikerbasque Research Fellow (MSCA co-funded program) leading her own team at CIC nanoGUNE, Spain and a visiting scientist in Prof. Mike Payne’s group at University of Cambridge, UK. She is an expert in numerical simulations and theory investigating mechanical, optoelectronic and charge transport properties of various nanomaterials and interactions between them. She holds PhD in Physical Science (2013) from the University of Warsaw, Poland and two MSc titles (2008)– in experimental solid state physics and in biophysics from the Jagiellonian University, Poland. She spent 5 years at the University of Cambridge (UK) as Research Associate designing reactive nanoparticles for in situ catalytic cracking of hydrocarbons (2017-2021) and investigating thermoelectric properties of CNT-metal composites (2016). As a postdoctoral research fellow (2013-2015) at Ludwig-Maximilians Universität München (Germany) she was engaged in modelling work in the field of controlled self-assembly, photocatalysis, and optoelectronics. Currently, her research focus on low-dimensional systems for sustainable energy generation. Over the years, she received several prestigious fellowships and awards, including an award for outstanding achievements granted by Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Poland (2012).
