Department of Materials Engineering
The Department of Materials Engineering, established in 1985 and originating from the Materials Science Unit founded in 1956, is today a modern centre for research, development and implementation in the field of advanced materials. We combine over 60 years of tradition with the latest technologies to create solutions for industry, medicine and the modern economy.
The department’s scientific and research activities focus on modelling, manufacturing and tailoring material properties, as well as selecting appropriate technologies for specific applications within three strategic areas.
We design and develop modern composite structures – from concept and numerical simulations with optimisation, to technology development and evaluation of physicochemical, mechanical and operational properties.
We conduct research on shaping the composition, structure and properties of metal alloys and polymer composites intended for medical applications.
We specialise in designing and producing coatings that enhance the durability and functionality of structural components.
The dynamic development of the department has resulted in the expansion of its laboratory facilities, including the acquisition of unique research equipment such as a nanotomography system.
This enables comprehensive microstructural and material property analyses at the highest international research standards.

The department’s educational activities focus on training specialists in the field of materials engineering.
We offer two specialisations:
Students develop their interests through participation in research projects and cooperation with industry.
We support industrial and medical innovation by educating engineers prepared to work in the most advanced sectors of the economy.
