Motivation
I am a second-year chemistry PhD candidate at the Faculty of Chemical Technology of Poznan University of Technology, where I attend Interdisciplinary Doctoral Studies NanoBioTech. The postgraduate curriculum in Chemical and Process Engineering, Poznan University of Technology, introduced me to a field of surface phenomena. I got interested in the mechanism of deposition of amphiphilic substances particles onto the water/air interface. The experimental investigation was not enough for me, so I decided to explore the mathematical principles of diffusion and adsorption in such systems. My attention was drawn by an integral equation of the second kind of Volterra type proposed by Ward and Tordai. What is more, I also graduated in Mathematics in the field of mathematical modelling which allows me to simulate Ward-Tordai equation using numerical methods. Together with my team, we decided to investigate the possibility to determine a diffusion coefficient in the water/air system using inver se problem methodology. Such an approach was a great success. Currently, we continue our research and investigate more and more complex adsorption systems and isotherms. I am exceptionally motivated to improve my knowledge in the field fo surface phenomena and this workshop would be a perfect choice for me.
