 Education

AGH University of Krakow,

Faculty of Metals Engineering and Industrial Computer Science

  • 2005 - 2009

Degree of Doctor in Engineering in the field of Metallurgy.

“Development of a hybrid model of the secondary steel refining process for the evaluation of selected metallurgical technologies”

  • 2000 - 2005

Master's degree in the field of Computer Science in Material Technology.

  Research Activities

I participated in the Leader Project (No LIDER13/0036/2022) “Development of the manufacturing and deposition technology of metal ceramic nanocomposite coatings for the structural reconstruction of heat-resistant nickel-based superalloys project financed by the National Center for Research and Development, headed by Dr. Łukasz Rakoczy (AGH University of Krakow). As part of the project, I supported the Leader by performing thermal tests of Inconel 718 and 625 alloys used in the production of aircraft engine components. The tests performed using the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) method were aimed at determining the phase transformation temperatures, including key values ​​such as Solidus and Liquidus temperature for both basic alloys and their various modifications of the basic chemical composition with ceramics: TiB2, TiC and WC.
