Field of studies Advanced Nano and Biomaterials-MONABIPHOT (studies in English) - Wrocław University of Technology (Politechnika Wrocławska), PWr (Wrocław) - Wrocław - Study Bachelor's and Master's in English in Poland

1. During your Bachelor’s you hear about nanoparticles that deliver drugs directly to cancer cells. What intrigues you?

How to design a material that recognises the right cells and is safe for the body. It sounds promising, but I’d rather wait for the finished therapies. It’s too abstract for me.

2. How do you get on with lab work – synthesis, sample preparation, precise measurements?

Very well – I like precision and I’ve spent plenty of hours in the lab. I manage, but I prefer calculations or theory. I avoid the lab whenever I can.

3. Are you comfortable combining chemistry, physics, biology and materials engineering in a single project?

Yes – the most exciting things happen where disciplines meet. Yes, as long as my own field dominates. I’d rather stick to one discipline.

4. You’re part of an international research team – the literature, reports, seminars and lab conversations are all in English. How do you find it?

Great – I read papers in English every day and enjoy presenting results at seminars. I read comfortably, but presenting results in English is a challenge. I’d rather work only in my own language.

5. Are you curious about how light interacts with matter – why some molecules glow when illuminated, or how optical sensors work?

Very – I’d love to use these phenomena in diagnostics or new materials. A bit – I remember the basics from physics classes. No, optics doesn’t interest me.

6. A measurement comes out completely differently from what your hypothesis predicted. What do you do?

I check the method and the equipment, repeat the measurement, then consider whether it might be an interesting discovery. I repeat it, hoping it comes out right this time. I leave that result out of the report.

7. Your team is testing a new material for implants. What do you consider crucial?

Safety for the body, durability and thorough testing before it reaches patients. Mainly that the material is strong. Low production costs – the rest will sort itself out.

8. How important is it to you to master advanced characterisation techniques, such as electron microscopy or spectroscopy?

Very – I want to be able to choose the right method myself and interpret the results. It’s enough if someone else runs the measurements and I read the results. Research methods don’t interest me.

9. Do you read research papers on new materials on your own initiative?

Yes – I follow new discoveries regularly and jot down ideas for my own research. Sometimes, when a project calls for it. No, I only read what I have to.

10. What motivates you most to pursue a Master’s degree in Advanced Nano and Biomaterials-MONABIPHOT?

Wanting to research and design the materials of the future – for medicine, electronics or optics. Wanting to deepen my knowledge of chemistry, physics or biology at the nanoscale. I’m not sure it’s for me
