Piotr Konieczka is Professor at Gdańsk University of Technology, where he is Head of the Department of Analytical Chemistry. He has co-authored 113 publications, 8 books and holds 1 patent. His research interests are environmental pollution analysis, trace analysis, in particular analysis of heavy metal content using spectroscopic techniques, as well as chemical statistics and metrology, as well as control and quality assurance of analytical measurement results, including aspects related to the production and use of certified reference materials (CRM) and the organization and development of proficiency test results (PT).
