Greenness Metrics for Environmental Analytical Chemistry
keynote

Marek Tobiszewski, Assoc. Prof. (Gdańsk University of Technology), works in analytical chemistry, especially the analysis of organic compounds in environmental and food samples and in green chemistry. His research interests include solvent-based microextraction processes and the development of accessible, simplified analytical procedures. He also studies the greenness of chemical reagents, solvents, and broader chemical processes, applying multivariate statistics and multi-criteria decision-making techniques for this purpose.
