On May 1 of this year, Professor Romualdas Baltrušis, a distinguished scientist and habilitated doctor, celebrates his 100th birthday. For most of this long period, Prof. R. Baltrušis devoted his work to the Kaunas Polytechnic Institute and its successor, Kaunas University of Technology.

Romualdas Baltrušis was born on May 1, 1926, in Ukmergė. After graduating from Antanas Smetona Gymnasium in Ukmergė in 1945, he studied chemistry at Kaunas University and, having graduated with honours, began his scientific career in 1950 as a postgraduate (aspirant) at the D. Mendeleev Institute of Chemical Technology in Moscow under Prof., Academician V. Radionov. From 1952, he continued his work at the Department of Organic Chemistry of the Kaunas Polytechnic Institute (KPI), where, under the guidance of Academician Antanas Purėnas, he investigated the synthesis of β-amino acids and their derivatives. As early as 1954, he defended his Candidate of Sciences (Chemistry) dissertation, “Synthesis and transformations of N-aryl β-amino acids,” and sixteen years later, in 1970, he defended his doctoral dissertation devoted to the synthesis of N-aryl, N-pyridyl, and N-quinolyl β-alanines and their transformations into pyrimidine derivatives. In 1973, he was awarded the academic title of Professor.

R. Baltrušis served as a professor for eight years. In 1980, he was elected Head of the Department of Organic Chemistry and led the department until 1990. Thereafter, until his retirement (1994), he worked as a professor in the department. Prof. R. Baltrušis was greatly appreciated by students and undoubtedly with good reason: in 1986 he won the Best Lecturer competition and delivered lecture courses in a range of subjects, including organic chemistry, bioorganic chemistry, polymer physics and chemistry, polymer chemistry, and the chemistry of wood and cellulose.

Prof. R. Baltrušis has written three textbooks, both independently and in collaboration with co-authors.: “Fundamentals of the chemistry of macromolecular compounds” (1966) and “Organic chemistry”, Parts I and II (1969/1971). For these organic chemistry textbooks, Prof. R. Baltrušis and co-authors were awarded a republican prize (1975). In 1999, Prof. R. Baltrušis prepared and published the monograph “Synthesis, transformations, and properties of N-aryl (heterocyclyl) β-alanines”. Together with co-authors, he translated V. Radionov’s “Practical works in organic chemistry, and edited Russian-to-Lithuanian translations of the books “Organic macromolecular compounds” and “Physical chemistry of polymers”. In 1986, Professor Romualdas Baltrušis was awarded the honorary title of Distinguished Scientist of Lithuania.

More than 130 scientific articles published with co-authors, 49 author’s certificates, nearly 40 popular-science articles, participation in 38 scientific conferences, and the supervision of 9 doctoral and 2 habilitation theses, whose graduates continue research in the synthesis of the compounds, testify to the exceptionally successful activity of this talented scientist and educator. We congratulate Professor Romualdas Baltrušis on this honourable jubilee and wish him strong health and continued success in his diverse and fruitful endeavours.

In 2026, we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Professor Vaclova Zelionkaitė – a distinguished Lithuanian chemist, habilitated doctor, professor, State Prize laureate, and long-standing academic of the Faculty of Chemical Technology.

Vaclova Zelionkaitė was born on 11 May 1926 in Girstupis village, Kaunas district. After graduating from Kaunas 5th Gymnasium, she entered the Faculty of Chemical Technology of Kaunas State Vytautas Magnus University in 1945 and graduated in 1950. While still a student, she began her first scientific work under the supervision of Academician Jonas Janickis.

In 1955, V. Zelionkaitė defended her dissertation and was awarded the degree of Candidate of Chemical Sciences. In 1964, she defended her Doctor of Chemical Sciences dissertation, titled Research in the Field of Selenium Oxyacids, which was later recognised as equivalent to a habilitated doctor degree. She became the first woman in Lithuania to be awarded the Doctor of Chemical Sciences degree. In 1968, she was awarded the academic title of Professor. Professor Zelionkaitė worked at the Department of Physical Chemistry until 1969, where she taught courses in physical and colloid chemistry, sulphuric acid technology, and fixed nitrogen technology. She supervised laboratory work, diploma projects, industrial placements, and the scientific work of postgraduate students and colleagues.

From 1969 to 1985, Prof. V. Zelionkaitė served as Head of the Department of Inorganic Chemistry and later continued her work as professor of the department. She taught courses in general and inorganic chemistry and supervised laboratory and research-based teaching activities in inorganic and analytical chemistry. Her main research field was the chemistry of sulphur, selenium, tellurium and arsenic compounds, including the formation, properties and transformations of oxyacids containing these elements. Her scientific work led to the synthesis and characterization of about 50 new inorganic compounds, some of which showed biological activity and potential for applications in conductive and semiconductive films on polymer materials. She also led applied research contracts with industrial enterprises and research institutes in Lithuania and abroad.

Prof. Zelionkaitė authored and co-authored more than 150 scientific publications and received 7 author’s certificates. She made a substantial contribution to chemical education by preparing teaching and methodological publications, including Sulphuric Acid Production (1968), Laboratory Works in Physicochemical Analysis, Lecture Notes in Inorganic Chemistry (Part I, 1972; Part II, 1975), and Laboratory Works in General and Inorganic Chemistry, which was published in six editions between 1972 and 1997. In 1995, she also published the textbook General and Inorganic Chemistry.

Professor Vaclova Zelionkaitė passed away on 13 August 2017. Her scientific achievements, pedagogical work, and dedication to academic life remain an important part of the history of inorganic chemistry, chemical education, and the Faculty of Chemical Technology.
