Miniature 8: How Will Laser Technologies Affect the Durability of Implants?

Miniatura
Dr Magdalena Jażdżewska has been awarded a grant in the MINIATURA competition, organised by the National Science Centre. She will carry out a project titled "Laser Remelting of a Nanohydroxyapatite Coating Deposited on Titanium Alloy in the Context of the Tribological Properties of the Resulting Surface Layer."

Dr Magdalena Jażdżewska aims to investigate how advanced laser technologies can enhance the durability and functional properties of coatings used on medical implants.

"The planned activity involves producing composite surface layers on titanium alloy substrates by depositing nanohydroxyapatite coatings, which will then be remelted using laser technology," explains Dr Magdalena Jażdżewska. Hydroxyapatite, a hard crystalline component of human bone, is widely used as a coating material to modify the surface of implants.

Students Visit Sunreef Yachts: "Exploring Potential Career Opportunities"

Sunfeef yachts
Students in their third semester of Yacht Design and Construction recently visited the Sunreef Yachts shipyard in Gdańsk. This initiative is part of a collaboration between the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Ship Technology and the company. Thanks to this partnership, students benefit from opportunities such as paid internships and traineeships, providing valuable hands-on experience in the industry.

"Visits like this are incredibly important; they give future engineers the opportunity to explore potential workplaces and understand the scope of their future responsibilities," explains Jacek Frost, the Internship Coordinator. "I have had the pleasure of collaborating with Sunreef Yachts for several years, and the company is always willing to welcome students for paid placements and internships," he adds.
