Katarzyna Pietrzak, Prof.

Research area:

The technology development of the ceramic-metal composite materials, functionally graded materials (FGM’s), joining of advanced materials.

The research work includes both the fabrication and characterization of composites, FGM’s
and joints, with particular account for the physical and chemical phenomena that accompany the processes of their fabrication.

Ph. D. Thesis: "Type Al2O3 ceramics bondability to copper depending on techniques used", 1988

Dr Hab. Thesis: "Forming the interface in ceramic-metal composites and their joints”, 1999
