Some journeys are measured not only in years, but also in dedication, growth, and shared achievements...
Today, at the Faculty of Chemistry, University of Wrocław, Paulina Potok successfully defended her PhD thesis with distinction, an honor unanimously awarded by the committee, and officially earned the title of Doctor. This achievement marks the culmination of 8 years of scientific collaboration between Paulina Potok and her supervisor, Assoc. Prof. Sławomir Potocki - starting with bachelor's studies, continuing through master's studies, and leading to the successful completion of her doctoral journey.
The committee was chaired by Prof. Piotr Smoleński, while the thesis was reviewed by Prof. Iwona Łakomska (Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń), Prof. Piotr Pietrzyk (Jagiellonian University), and Prof. Marcin Sieńczyk (Wrocław University of Science and Technology).
It was a wonderful celebration filled with joy, emotions, and a true sense that the summer holidays had just begun. Family, friends, colleagues, and distinguished guests gathered to celebrate this special occasion together. Special thanks go to the committee, all attendees, and especially to Dr. Potok's parents and loved ones for sharing this unforgettable moment.
Sincere thanks go to all members of the Biological Inorganic Chemistry Group for their support and contribution to this success, and to Prof. Elżbieta Gumienna-Kontecka, Head of the Group, for her continuous support and leadership.
Wishing Dr. Paulina Potok every success in her professional career. It is great to see her scientific knowledge and expertise already being put to good use in industry. May this new chapter bring many rewarding challenges, continued success, and plenty of professional satisfaction!
Go, Dr. Potok! 🎉🎉🎉
