Wojciech Wojnowski

I am a researcher in Analytical Chemistry interested primarily in measuring volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the air, both indoor and outdoor, and in quantifying the emissions from different products and processes. I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Analytical Chemistry at the Gdańsk University of Technology, and currently a visiting researcher at the University of Innsbruck.

My research interests include the use of proton transfer reaction time-of-flight mass spectrometry (PTR-ToF-MS) and multivariate statistical analysis. I am also enthusiastic about scientific visualisation.
