Current Interests

Mikolaj Lukaszewicz is a multi-disciplinary scientist currently working in the electrochemistry group on corrosion fatigue, stress corrosion cracking and pitting corrosion.

Biography

Mikolaj studied at the Silesian University of Technology in Poland for his BSc in Environmental Protection with specialisation in air quality protection systems. He then continued his studies at Silesian University of Technology, where he gained an MSc in Environmental engineering. Mikolaj then move to the UK to study at Cranfield University for his MSc in Environmental Management for Business. In 2009, Mikolaj joined the Centre for Energy and Resource Technology at Cranfield University, where he obtained his PhD in Steam oxidation of high temperature resistant alloys under the supervision of Dr Nigel Simms and Prof John Nicholls.

Mikolaj joined NPL in April 2012 as a higher research scientist working with Shengqi Zhou on corrosion fatigue, stress corrosion cracking and pitting corrosion.
