Alicja Bachmatiuk defended her MS thesis in chemical technology at the Szczecin University of Technology (known nowadays as West Pomeranian University of Technology) in 2005 and received the PhD degree in 2009 at the same university. She received the Polish post-doctoral degree (dr hab.)  at the Warsaw University of Technology in 2017. She undertook the post-doctoral internship at IFW Dresden, Germany, as a scholar of the Marie Curie RTN and of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (2009-2012).

She worked as a Research Professor (2013-2014) at the Sungkyunkwan University, Suwon, South Korea. Since 2013 she has been conducting research on production and characteristic of graphene materials at the Centre of Polymer and Carbon Materials of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Zabrze. Since 2015 she holds the post of visiting professor at the Soochow University, Suzhou, China. The co-creator of 4 Polish patents, author of over 130 articles from the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education trusted scientific magazines list (h-index = 30, over 2700 quotations).

Supervisor of 3 MS thesis and tutor of 3 postgraduate students. The winner of the Minister of Education scholarship for prominent young scientists (2016), she implemented 3 research grants (Alexander von Humboldt, FNP Homing Plus, NCN Sonata). Since 2015 she holds the post of the manager of the Electron Microscopy Laboratory for Materials and Geological Analysis at the PORT Polish Center for Technology Development.

A professor at the University of Bremen at rest, where he ran the Department of Physics and Semiconductors for many years. He mainly dealt with the optoelectronics of epitaxy, i.e. a part of the physics of solid bodies, through which the current can be converted into visible light. Leopoldian professor at the University of Wrocław. He cooperated with Japanese, American and Polish universities. In recent years he is associated with the Polish Center for Technology Development, where from January 2018 he holds the position of the Leader of the Modern Materials for Photonics and Electronics area.

Michał Surma graduated from the University of Wrocław majoring in Biotechnology. He completed his doctoral degree on lipids in intracellular trafficking, at the International Max Planck Research School for Molecular Cell Biology and Bioengineering, in professor Kai Simons group (Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics). During his doctorate he obtained the EMBO scholarship to work on high-throughput genetic interactions screening at University of California, San Francisco. Afterwards, he continued at MPI-CBG where, together with his colleagues, he commercialized methods for high-throughput, broad coverage lipidomics; this work resulted in a biotech start-up – Lipotype GmbH. In Lipotype he was responsible for commercial operations and methods deployment in the analytical laboratory. He was also one of the main authors of publications on key methods for blood plasma and skin lipid analysis. He is also an author and co-author of papers on development and application of new, high-throughput methods of lipidomic analysis of biological and clinical samples, works on biological membrane biophysics and organization and works focusing on the role of lipids in cellular processes. Since October 2018 he is the Analytics Field Leader at PORT.
