Computational chemist studying properties of hydrogen bonded complexes and spatially confined systems  using DFT and ab initio methods. His research interests are also in testing the quality of AIM method for describing the weak intramolecular hydrogen bonds and ab initio studies of intramolecular hydrogen bond in aminoalcohols, Mannich and Schiff bases.

Paweł Lipkowski graduated from the University of Wrocław, where he obtained Ph.D degree in Theoretical Chemistry with distinction in 2002 under supervision of Prof. A. Koll. During his Ph.D studies, in 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002, he was a visiting research associate with Prof. A. Karpfen and Prof. P. Wolschann at the Institute for Theoretical Chemistry and Molecular Biology of the University of Vienna. In 2000 he visited research team of Prof. A. Sadlej at Mikolaj Kopernik University, Torun, Poland.
