Dr. Monika Kopeć | medical chemistry | Young Scientist Award

šŸ‘Øā€šŸ«Profile Summary

In 2018, I earned a doctorate in chemical science from the Faculty of Chemistry at Lodz University of Technology, specializing in the study of biological systems using spectroscopic techniques. Additionally, I completed a master’s program in logistics with a focus on supply chain management. With nine years of experience in chemistry, including managing research projects, I have honed my skills in team collaboration and project management. I have also undertaken various courses and workshops to enhance my expertise, including those in self-motivation, effective learning, and commercializing research. Now, I aim to further expand my knowledge and skills in research techniques and seek opportunities in leading chemical or logistics companies.
