Biography
Piotr Budzyński, DSc, PhD, Eng, was born in 1971. He graduated from the Mechanical Engineering Faculty at the Lublin University of Technology, where he has been a researcher and academic since 1995. From 2012 to 2020, he held the position of Vice Dean for Scientific Affairs, and in 2020, he was appointed President of the Mechanical Engineering Discipline Council. The Mechanical Engineering Faculty at the Lublin University of Technology is currently one of the leading mechanical engineering research units in Poland.
In 2011, he defended his postdoctoral dissertation titled “The Problems of Friction and Wear of Ion-Implanted Metallic Materials in Mechanical Engineering”. His research interests focus on the improvement of tribological properties of the surface layer in different materials via ion implantation. His recent studies are devoted to the effects of swift-ion irradiation on the properties of materials used in the space technology and in the design of accelerators and nuclear reactors. His research interests also include the design of electronic measuring equipment. He coauthored 58 research publications in journals indexed in the Scopus database as well as two patents and three utility models. He was awarded fellowships at the Horia Hulubei National Institute for R&D in Physics and Nuclear Engineering and the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research.
