Position

Researcher

Research

My research focuses on diamond synthesis at low temperatures, simulation and development of novel microwave plasma CVD systems, anduse of diamond for medical applications such as prosthesis and biosensing. I am also interested in preventing erosion on wind turbine blades using nanocrystalline diamond coating. Lab website www.zalieckaslab.org.
