Jan Maurycy Uszko
PhD student at the University of Bristol.
I’m a passionate chemist specialising in functional inorganic materials and their synthesis. As a PhD researcher at the University of Bristol, I combine academic research with hands-on lab management to drive innovation and environmental responsibility. I developed the BANG method (Bristol Accelerated Nanoparticle Generation), a novel approach to synthesising functional nanoparticles through controlled detonation — an exciting technique that’s opened up new possibilities in the field. I led my lab to a gold LEAF certification, proving my commitment to both precision and sustainability. Outside the lab, I practice karate and enjoy tinkering with electronics.
