Dr. Tomasz Dudziak (D.Sc., PhD, M.Sc., B.Sc.) is the senior scientist involved in high-temperature corrosion research and recycling technologies in order to reduce pollution by waste.
He is scientific research career started since 2006 in Newcastle. In 2009 he graduated University of Northumbria at Newcastle upon Tyne, Computer Engineering and Information Sciences (CEIS), Advanced Materials Research Institute (AMRI). His PhD Thesis entitled: High Temperature Corrosion Behaviour and Interdiffusion Modelling of Coated TiAl Intermetallic in Oxidising and Sulphidising Environments. The project and PhD research was related to TiAl based materials protected by different type of coatings developed by PVD-HIPIMS (High Impulse Power Magnetron Sputtering) system in order to expose the materials at higher temperatures and more aggressive atmospheres than currently are exposed. The work during PhD involved as well modelling studies of the elements that contributes in the oxide scale formation at high temperatures in the uncoated and the coated materials. Since 2009 to 2013 Tomasz Dudziak was a Research Fellow in School of Applied Science at Cranfield University, in Centre for Energy and Resource Technologies. In 2013 he started employment in Foundry Research Institute at Centre for High Temperature Studies as a research fellow conducting research in the field of High Temperature Corrosion.
Currently Tomasz Dudziak is the author and co-author of around 60 papers including conference proceedings, chapter in a book and the monograph. In 2019 Tomasz Dudziak obtained D.Sc. degree in Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering Warsaw University of Technology.
