Dr. Mariusz Winiecki

Mariusz Winiecki is an Assistant Professor and the Chair of Constructional Materials and Biomaterials at the Faculty of Materials Engineering at the Kazimierz Wielki University, Poland. In 2001, he received an MSc in Mechanical Engineering (specialization in Mechatronics) at Poznan University of Technology, Poland, and in 2006, he received a PhD in Mechanical Engineering at Poznan University of Technology, Poland, for the PhD thesis on the investigation of the micro-geometrical constructional properties of porous endosseous implants and the influence of these properties on the strength of the bone-implant model fixation. In 2007, he finished Postgraduate Studies in the field of Biomaterials Engineering at AGH University of Science and Technology in Cracow, Poland, and since 2007, he has been a member of the Polish Society for Biomaterials. His main research areas in the field of biomaterials engineering are the engineering of bone-implant interfacing, design and implant surface functionalization towards improving the conditions for osseointegration. He was a key investigator in two research projects of the Polish Ministry of Science and the National Science Centre Poland, concerning the design, prototyping, SLM manufacturing, and development of essential innovation in the fixation of components of a new generation of entirely cementless resurfacing hip arthroplasty endoprostheses in the subchondral trabecular bone via the biomimetic multi-spiked connecting scaffold.
