R&D Engineer – DEPO3D Technical Leader, SYGNIS SA. Graduate of the first-cycle and second-cycle studies at the Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering, Warsaw University of Technology. The topic of his thesis was “The mechanism of growth of GaN layers produced by molecular beam epitaxy technique with plasma nitrogen source”, the goal of which was to obtain the correct parameters for crystal growth on a newly launched dual MBE system.
In 2008, while still a student, he started working at the Institute of Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences in a team working on epitaxy of compounds of material group III-V. He was responsible for the maintenance and repair of the system for epitaxy using the MBE technique, conducting crystal growth processes, characterizing the obtained materials and presenting the obtained results in publications and conferences. The greatest achievements of this period comprise the determination which nitrogen plasma components are responsible for the growth of gallium nitride and which lead to damage to the layer produced, and the precise calibration of the plasma nitrogen source considering this information. His work at the Institute allowed him to gain experience in the construction and operation of complex research and metering equipment such as ultra-high vacuum (UHV) systems, clean process gas plants, and electron microscopy. In the course of his work, he participated in research projects financed with public funds (NanoBiom, PolHEMT, InTechFun) and scientific grants. He also collaborated with many domestic and foreign scientific teams (including Paul-Drude-Institut für Festkörperelektronik in Berlin, Ioffe Institute St. Petersburg, Institute of Physics NAS of Ukraine, CNRS-CRHEA).
Since 2021, he has been working at SYGNIS SA leading a team involved in the next generation of metal printing equipment, gas phase printing and development of functional materials for industrial applications. He also represents the company at fairs and exhibitions (Formnext, 3D Printing Days).
