Barbara Palys received her PhD (1993) from University of Twente, the Netherlands and DSc (2008) from University of Warsaw, Poland. She is currently professor at the Faculty of Chemistry at the University of Warsaw and leader of the group "Materials for Biosensors" at the Biological and Chemical Research Centre of University of Warsaw. Her research interests include design and studies of surfaces, materials and nanostructures that can be used as matrices for deposition of enzymes; electrocatalytic properties of hybrid materials comprising graphene oxide, nanostructures of conductive polymers, supramolecular polymeric gels and metallic nanostructures as well as SERS applications of graphene oxide. She has authored more than 70 publications cited over 1300 times (H-factor =21).
