“The choice of a future profession can, without exaggeration, be called a life-defining decision. So much depends on this choice, which is why it is essential to carefully weigh all the pros and cons of the chosen field,” states the website of the Department of Chemical, Polymer and Silicate Engineering at the Faculty of Automation, Industrial Engineering and Ecology. Viktor Vytvytskyi made the right choice for himself. Today, he conducts research into chemical engineering processes and equipment, polymer and composite materials, and holds 50 patents. In recognition of his significant achievements, the scientist has received numerous awards and distinctions.
