Krzysztof Fic

Krzysztof Fic graduated in Chemical Process Engineering from the Faculty of Chemical Technology, Poznan University of Technology, in June 2008. He was subsequently accepted for a research assistant position in the Department of Applied Electrochemistry, where he has been employed since. In 2012 he defended his PhD thesis and in 2020 he was awarded a habilitation degree in chemical sciences. In July 2025 he was appointed as a full professor.

Since 2019 he has been a visiting researcher at Kansai University in Japan, where he collaborates with Professor Masashi Ishikawa’s research team.

His research activities primarily focus on electrochemical systems for energy conversion and storage, with a particular interest in phenomena occurring at the porous electrode/electrolyte interface using an operando approach. He also investigates the electrochemical activity of selected redox couples and their application as a novel source of pseudocapacitance in carbon-based electrochemical capacitors.

He served as principal investigator for the Starting Grant GA 759603, 2017-2023 funded by the European Research Council, followed by a Proof of Concept project GA 101138710, 2024-2025.

He is currently coordinating the Marie Skłodowska Curie Actions ENERCAP project HORIZON-MSCA-2022-Doctoral Networks. He has presented nearly 80 oral communications and 20 posters at national and international conferences in Europe, the United States, Mexico, Brazil, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Australia.

He is a co-author of over 80 peer-reviewed papers, cited more than 4,000 times. He co-invented more than 30 patents that have been granted and 20 patent applications that are pending.
