Piotr Budzyński Author

Piotr Budzyński, PhD, DSc was born in 1971. He graduated from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the Lublin University of Technology, where he has been employed as a researcher and academic since 1995. From 2012 to 2020 he held the position of Vice Dean for Scientific Affairs, and in 2020 he was appointed President of the Mechanical Engineering Discipline Council. The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the Lublin University of Technology is currently one of the leading mechanical engineering research units in Poland. In 2011 he defended his post-doctoral dissertation titled The Problems of Friction and Wear of Ion-Implanted Metallic Materials in Mechanical Engineering. His research interests focus on improvement of tribological properties of surface layer in different materials via ion implantation. His recent studies investigate the effect of swift ion irradiation on the properties of materials used in the space technology and in the design of accelerators and nuclear reactors. His research interests also include the design of electronic measuring equipment. He co-authored 58 research publications in journals indexed in the Scopus database as well as two patents and three utility models. He completed research fellowships at the Horia Hulubei National Institute for R&D in Physics and Nuclear Engineering (IFIN-HH) and Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR).
