Alumni

Guillermo Ahumada, PhD

Guillermo received a BSc degree in chemistry (2012) from the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaiso (PUCV), Chile, and a Ph.D. degree (2017) in cotutelle between the PUCV (Chile) and the Université de Rennes 1 (France) under the supervision of Prof. Carolina Manzur and Dr. Jean-René Hamon, focusing on the electrosynthesis of metal-containing polymers. After completing his Ph.D. in 2017, he moved to UNIST, South Korea, where he began a postdoctoral position in Prof. Bielawski's laboratories and, later, a senior research position with Prof. Grzybowski (2020). During August 2022 and February 2024, he performed research on electrosynthesis in the Lundberg lab at KTH.

Natalia Wojciechowska, visiting PhD student

Natalia received her master’s degree in organic chemistry from University of Warsaw in 2021. Her graduate studies were focused on hypervalent iodine compounds with particular focus on the synthesis of iodonium salts and their application as functional groups transfer reagents. Natalia enrolled as a PhD student under the supervision of Dr. hab. Marcin Kałekb in 2021 and is currently working on electrochemical asymmetric oxidations mediated by chiral iodoarene electrocatalysts.

Robert Sibusiso Yafele, visiting PhD student

Robert obtained his BSc (2016), BSc Hons (2017) and MSc (2020) from the University of Johannesburg, South Africa. He did his MSc under the supervision of Associate Professor Henok Kinfe and his thesis was focused on the development of N^N^N cationic palladium(II) complexes and their catalytic evaluation in selected cross-coupling and hydrogenation reactions. He is currently enrolled as a doctoral student at the University of Warsaw (since Oct 2021) where he is working on electrochemical oxidations promoted by iodoarene catalysts, including enantioselective processes under the supervision of Dr. hab. Marcin Kałek.
