Bio
Krzysztof B. Bec obtained his doctorate (2014) in physical and theoretical chemistry from the University of Wroclaw. His research focused on thin-film IR spectroscopy and computational methods. He worked with Professor Yukihiro Ozaki as Postdoctoral Fellow and Research Assistant Professor at Kwansei Gakuin University, Japan; he focused on advancing near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and contributed into development of ATR-FUV-DUV spectroscopy and its applications. He continues his work in the field of NIR spectroscopy as FWF Lise Meitner Senior Fellow and Principal Investigator in the group of Professor Christian W. Huck at the University of Innsbruck, Austria. His current research interest focuses on the applications of quantum mechanical methods and artificial intelligence methods in NIR spectroscopy.
