Asymmetric Organocatalysis

Lukasz Albrecht is full professor at the Institute of Organic Chemistry at Lodz University of Technology, Poland. He obtained his M.Sc. degree (2004), Ph.D. (2009) and habilitation (2015) from Lodz University of Technology. From 2009 - 2012 he stayed as a postdoctoral researcher with Prof. Karl Anker Jørgensen at the Center for Catalysis, Aarhus University (Denmark), working on new applications of asymmetric organocatalysis. Since 2013, he is a group leader at the Institute of Organic Chemistry at Lodz University of Technology. His research deals with the synthesis and utilization of chiral organic catalysts.

Anna Albrecht is associate professor at the Institute of General and Ecological Chemistry at Lodz University of Technology, Poland. She received her M.Sc. degree (2004) and Ph.D. (2009) from Lodz University of Technology. After a postdoctoral stay with Prof. Karl Anker Jørgensen at the Center for Catalysis, Aarhus University (Denmark), she returned to Lodz University of Technology. In 2020, she accomplished her habilitation working on the development of new decarboxylative synthetic strategies.

Luca Dell'Amico is associate professor at Padova University, Italy. He obtained his M.Sc. degree in medicinal chemistry (2011) and Ph.D. (2014) at Parma University, Italy. In 2013, he spent a ten-months research period with Prof. Karl Anker Jørgensen at the Center for Catalysis, Århus Univesity (Denmark). He was a Marie-Curie cofund fellow in the group of Prof. Paolo Melchiorre at ICIQ Tarragona (Spain) in 2014. His current research spans from the development of stereoselective photochemical processes to the investigation of novel organocatalytic methods using renewables.
