Dr. Tomasz Bartkowiak holds a Ph.D. and D.Sc. from Poznan University of Technology, Poland. He specializes in multiscale geometric characterizations and analysis of surface topographies. He pioneered multiscale 3D curvature analysis. Currently, he leads the Division of Manufacturing Machines at the Institute of Mechanical Technology at Poznan University of Technology. His research focuses on developing new methods to fully characterize the geometric properties of surfaces, with a with a particular emphasis on additive and non-conventional manufacturing processes. Additionally, he investigates the correlations between surface formation and surface-related functional properties.
