Scientific interests

• phase transformations and microstructure changes in titanium alloys
• experimental methods employing synchrotron radiation (e.g. small-angle X-ray scattering, anomalous diffraction, in situ X-ray diffraction)
• investigation of phase transformations using in situ laboratory methods (differential scanning calorimetry, dilatometry, electric resistance measurement) and laboratory X-ray diffraction
• offer of student projects and bachelor and diploma theses
