Maciej Motyka serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Materials Science at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautics of the Rzeszow University of Technology. His scientific interests cover relationships between processing, microstructure, and mechanical properties of advanced structural materials, mainly titanium alloys. His activity is focused on hot plasticity and fine-grained superplasticity phenomena. He is

also working on characterization of ultrafine-grained materials – submicrocrystalline aluminum alloys and nanocrystalline titanium – obtained by plastic consolidation and severe plastic deformation methods.

Waldemar Ziaja is engaged with the Department of Material Science at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautics of the Rzeszow University of Technology. His scientific interests include relationships between processing, microstructure, and mechanical properties of advanced structural materials, mainly titanium and nickel-based alloys. He is also working on modelling the microstructure-dependent deformation of materials in

fatigue and creep conditions including damage initiation and growth.

Professor Jan Sieniawski holds the management position in the Department of Material Science at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautics and R&D Laboratory of Aerospace Materials of the Rzeszow University of Technology. His scientific activity covers topics in the area of physical metallurgy of aerospace materials – titanium and aluminum 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 and a member of The Committee on Materials Science and Committee on Machine Building of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
