Barbara Grzybowska-Świerkosz
Barbara Grzybowska-Świerkosz (born 1937[1]), is a Polish chemist. She graduated from the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry of the Jagiellonian University in Kraków in 1959, and received a PhD from the Department of Chemistry at the University of Edinburgh in 1963. After completing a post-doctoral degree at the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw in 1974, she researched and taught at that institution, where she has been a professor of chemical sciences since 1990.[2][3] She has authored more than 140 publications, including articles, monographs and teaching documents.[2]
Her scientific achievements have been recognized with multiple awards, and she has been a member or leader of professional groups including the Academy of Sciences of the Comecon Countries, the Coordinating Committee of Research on Catalysis of the Polish Academy of Sciences, EUROCAT-oxides, and the European Commission Action COST-15 "Interfacial Chemistry and Catalysis". She also served on the editorial boards of the journals Applied Catalysis (1991-1993) and the Polish Journal of Chemistry (1997-).[2]
