In her research, Malgorzata Ciszkowska focuses on the utilization of electroanalytical and electrochemical methods for characterization and applications of polymeric gels, biopolymeric materials, and polymeric electrolytes for new power sources, sensors, and environmentally important methodologies. Research projects include voltammetry and anodic stripping voltammetry at mercury film microelectrodes, analytical applications of microelectrodes in the absence of supporting electrolyte, application of microelectrodes at very large concentration of depolarizers, stripping analysis of organic and inorganic compounds, trace analysis, pulse voltammetric techniques in electroanalysis, voltammetric and NMR studies of counterion transport in polyelectrolyte solutions, transport properties of simple ions in solutions without supporting electrolyte, conformational transitions of ionic polymers studied by electroanalytical techniques, electrochemistry in polymeric gels, transport of ions in polymeric gels, and biopolymeric gels as sorbents for heavy metals ions.
Dr. Malgorzata Ciszkowska is Professor of Chemistry at The Graduate Center and Jacque Edward Levy Professor of Analytical Chemistry and Chair, Department of Chemistry, Brooklyn College. Her research program is supported by the Office of Naval Research, U.S. Navy, the National Science Foundation, the Petroleum Research Fund of the American Chemical Society, and NATO.
