Dr. Magdalena Mazurek-Budzynska

Magdalena Mazurek-Budzyńska, since 2019, has been working as an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Chemistry, Warsaw University of Technology. During her Ph.D. studies, she focused on the synthesis and characterization of polymers based on carbon dioxide derivatives, such as aliphatic polycarbonates, poly(carbonate-urethane)s, poly(ester-carbonate)s, and isocyanate-free polyurethanes. After completing her Ph.D. in 2015, she spent three years at the Institute of Biomaterial Science, Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht as a postdoctoral researcher. Her scientific interests during this time concerned mainly the design, synthesis, and characterization of shape-memory polymers. Furthermore, she worked on the 3D-printing of active and multifunctional polymers, as well as on the synthesis and processing methods of biodegradable polymers. Currently, her scientific research focuses on the synthesis and electrospinning of new polymeric biomaterials and active polymers.
