Agnieszka Pladzyk, born in 1973 in Pisz, graduated in 1998 in Biotechnology from the Faculty of Chemistry GUT. Her MSc thesis entitled Production of recombinant human calcitonin in bacterial system and its purification with the use of metal affinity chromatography was done under the supervision of professor Józef Kur. In 2003 she defended the PhD with distinctions and her PhD thesis entitled Cobalt tri-tert-butoxysilanethiolates was prepared under the supervision of professor Barbara Becker. She was employed in the same year, initially as an Assistant and then as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Inorganic Chemistry of the Faculty of Chemistry GUT. In 2015 she became a DSc. In the meantime, she took a two-year scientific internship at University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, USA.

Ph.D.,D.Sc. Pladzyk was the member of the GUT Senate (2010–2012 and 2012–2016). Currently she is Vice-Dean for Organization of Studies of the Faculty of Chemistry GUT (2016-2020) and Vice-President of Polish Chemical Society Gdańsk Division (2019–2021).

Scientific activity of Ph.D.,D.Sc. Agnieszka Pladzyk is focused on design, synthesis and characterization of new mono- and polymetallic self-assembly systems based on transition metals and silicon-sulfur compounds. Her scientific interests concern searching of novel precursors of functional materials that exhibit magnetic, luminescent and catalytic properties.

Publication record of Pladzyk covers 28 articles in peer-reviewed international scientific journals. Her publications have been cited almost 170 times by other authors, with HI=10 (according to Web of Science, 2019). She cooperates with numerous scientific partners from Poland, Germany, USA.

Dr Pladzyk served as a reviewer in PhD procedure and was a leader of research grant. Currently she is the supervisor of one PhD student.
