Dr. Damian Batory received a Ph.D. in Technical Sciences in 2008 from Lodz University of Technology (TUL). His doctoral dissertation focused on the synthesis of gradient carbon coatings using a hybrid RF PACVD/MS (Radio Frequency Plasma-Assisted Chemical Vapor Deposition / Magnetron Sputtering) technique.
Following his Ph.D., Dr. Damian Batory was appointed Assistant Professor at the Institute of Materials Science and Engineering at TUL, Department of Biomedical Engineering. He participated in the international project “Nanostructured Carbon Materials Produced Using CVD Methods”, including a three-month research stay at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (USA). His research during this period centered on nanocomposite carbon-titanium coatings and the surface modification of materials used in the woodworking, automotive, and remanufacturing industries, as well as metallic and polymeric biomaterials.
