Maciej Motyka, Ph.D. serves as an Associate Professor with the Department of Materials Science, Rzeszow University of Technology, Poland. Dr. Motyka’s area of interest include: the relationships between processing, microstructure and mechanical properties of the advanced structural materials. Dr. Motyka’s main activity is focused on hot plasticity and fine-structure superplasticity phenomena in titanium alloys; as well as the characterization of ultrafine-grained materials –submicrocrystalline aluminium alloys and nanocrystalline titanium alloys – obtained by plastic consolidation and severe plastic deformation methods
