Biography:
Dr. Iwona Budziak-Wieczorek is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Food Science and Biotechnology, University of Life Sciences in Lublin, Poland. She obtained her Ph.D. in chemistry from the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin and conducts interdisciplinary research at the interface of chemistry, spectroscopy, and food science. Her research focuses on the design and spectroscopic characterization of fluorescent probes based on 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives, excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT), and the development of novel sensing systems for food and environmental analysis. She is also engaged in studies on natural bioactive compounds, physicochemical characterization, and advanced spectroscopic techniques. Dr. Budziak-Wieczorek has authored numerous peer-reviewed publications in international journals and actively collaborates with researchers from multidisciplinary scientific teams.
Title : An ESIPT-based 1,3,4-thiadiazole fluorescent probe for sequential detection of cations and anions and its application in the analysis of water and food samples
