On Thursday, 21st November we have enjoyed a presentation by a guest PhD student Mohamed Ahmed Baba from Kaunas University of Technology, Lithuania, entitled: “Laser-induced micro/nanostructure of functional materials”.
Mohamed is a specialist in laser processing of materials, particularly in femto-second laser applications. These lasers offer very interesting possibilities to modify materials with limited redeposition/melting of the samples. We have already applied the laser modification to solid oxide cells and dense and porous steels. He has been visiting Politechnika Gdańska for a week to carry out joint measurements and characterization on laser-processed Crofer 22 APU steel.
We have been working together through a joint Lithuanian-Polish research project within the NCN Narodowe Centrum Nauki Daina 2 project: “Porous metal supported micro-scale solid oxide fuel cells: fundamentals, fabrication and testing”.
