**Meet the editors**

Professor Jan Sieniawski graduated in Materials Science from Silesian University of Technology in Gliwice in 1972. He has been engaged with the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautics of the Rzeszów University of Technology since 1974. He leads the Department of Material Science since 1996. He is one of the originators and prime mover of the R&D Laboratory for Aerospace

Materials which he heads since 2004. Scientific activity of Prof. Sieniawski covers topics in the area of physical metallurgy of aerospace materials – titanium and aluminium alloys, nickel and cobalt-based superalloys, development and characterization of single crystal castings and thermal barrier coatings on the elements of the hot section of gas turbines. Prof. Sieniawski is a founder member of the Polish Materials Society, member of The Committee on Materials Science and Committee on Machine Building of the Polish Academy of Sciences. He holds the position of Editor-in-Chief of the quarterly journal of The Committee on Machine Building of the Polish Academy of Sciences "Advances of Manufacturing Science and Technology" and acts as a division editor of the scientific technical monthly journal "Mechanik". He is a member of international editorial board of the "Archives of Materials Science and Engineering" journal. Professor Sieniawski is an author and co-author of six books and over 300 papers in domestic and international scientific journals and conference proceedings.

Waldemar Ziaja graduated in Aeronautical Engineering from Rzeszów University of Technology in 1992 and ever since he is engaged with Department of Material Science at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautics of the Rzeszów University of Technology. He obtained his PhD degree in 1999. Scientific interests of Dr. Ziaja include relationships between processing, microstructure

and mechanical properties of the advanced structural materials, mainly titanium and nickel based alloys. He is also working on modelling the microstructure dependant deformation of materials in fatigue and creep conditions including damage initiation and growth. Dr. Ziaja is an author and co-author of over 50 papers in domestic and international scientific journals and conference proceedings.
