My detailed portfolio
I have very good knowledge about machining processes with whom I’m connected since my technical high-school. I finished program Machine Tools Technology in 2000, receiving a diploma and title Mechanic Technician with a specialization in Machining. I continued this path by studying Machine Engineering, which I finished as the second the best student in the year 2005.
I completed my doctoral thesis with honors (9.668 points of 10) in 2013, on "Analysis of stereometric features of surfaces after abrasive processes with the use of the new parameters of evaluation". Since 2008 I worked as a researcher in the Laboratory of Micro- and Nano-engineering in the Chair of Precision Mechanics, at Koszalin University of Technology (KUT), Poland.
In my scientific activity I deal particularly with:
-
precision machining processes (subtractive and additive),
-
surface integrity metrology using various measurement methods, such as:
-
contact measurement methods (stylus, AFM, STM),
-
optical measurement methods (interferometry, confocal, SEM, 3D scanning, etc.),
-
measurement of the residual stresses (X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry (ESPI) and Magnetic Barkhausen Noise (MBN)),
-
-
modeling and simulation of the processes (Matlab, Comsol),
-
engineering calculations and machine learning (Matlab, R, Python).
The ultimate goal is to develop new Hi-Tech solutions and knowledge which can be applied to Industrial Revolution 4.0 solutions and sustainable, robust production systems.
From 2006, I participated in 10+ scientific projects, published 30+ publications, including 6 indexed by JCR (Thomson Reuters), I am the editor of 1 book, co-authored 2 monographs and 16 chapters in conference books. I was responsible for 5 final reports of research projects, as well as for 7 applications of new research projects (total funding in the amount of about 11 million SEK). I’m also co-author of software for the analysis of the surface topography, so-called ATOP (Analysis of TOPography), developed in Matlab.
