Early life and education edit
Siwy is from Poland.[1] She studied chemistry at the Silesian University of Technology in Poland. She graduated with a master's degree in polymer technology in 1995, before completing a doctorate in chemical sciences in 1997. Siwy was a postdoctoral scholar at the University of Florida.[1]
Research and career edit
Siwy joined the faculty at the University of California, Irvine in 2005. In 2012 she was made Professor of Chemical Physics. She studies synthetic nanopores, which she looks to use as templates for biomimetic channels as well as ionic diodes and transistors.[1]
