Krzysztof Biernacki is a researcher at the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry of the University of Porto-Portugal. Since his PhD in Inorganic Chemistry (year 2004) he has been working on a variety of molecular systems in the field of Inorganic and Computational Chemistry.
Currently, his scientific interests focus on:
The study of porous materials such as zeolites or dipeptide nanopores using the theoretical and computational methods of quantum chemistry, classical simulations and molecular modelling. Computational investigation of non-covalent interactions in molecular systems. Transport of small molecules in the gas phase, through the interior mesoporous materials. Synthesis, characterization and modelling of deep eutectic solvents.
