Přehled

Research is focused on materials engineering, with a specialization in the development and optimization of metallic materials and their technological processing for use in extreme conditions, typical of hydrogen energy systems and modern power applications. The key research topics include: Hydrogen embrittlement and its impact on the structural integrity of metallic components, particularly high-pressure vessels used for hydrogen storage and transport, Heat treatment and mechanical strengthening of alloys aimed at enhancing resistance to hydrogen-induced degradation, Forming technologies and their influence on the microstructure and resulting mechanical properties of materials, Development of surface treatments and internal protective coatings for pressure vessels, aimed at reducing hydrogen permeability and increasing safety and service life.

  • Research and development in the field of materials and technology (heat treatment, forming, hydrogen embrittlement, etc.);
  • Evaluation of material characteristics and their alteration due to hydrogen-induced degradation;
  • Work on the R&D project TS02030257 – Innovative Material Concepts for the Inner Surface Treatment of Pressure Vessels for Safe and
  • Efficient Hydrogen Transport and Storage;
  • Contract research in the field of materials science;
  • Active publishing activity and preparation of new project proposals;
  • Participation in scientific conferences and professional meetings;
  • Active presentation of results of creative/scientific work.
