Dr. Vilma Ratautaite is a senior researcher at the Center for Physical Sciences and Technology (FTMC). She received her Ph.D. in Chemistry in 2009 and obtained experience in the chemical synthesis of acrylamide-based sorbents suitable for capillary liquid chromatography and electrochromatography and in capillary electrophoresis. She held a grant for a post-doctoral position at Vilnius University, Faculty of Chemistry, from 2011 to 2012. Her research areas are focused on electrochemical synthesis and the evaluation of conducting polymers. During her post-doctoral research project, she worked with molecularly imprinted conducting polymers. She also has experience in the evaluation of electrochromic properties of conducting polymers.
