Dr Pavel Cizek

Research interests:

Dr Cizek's research has largely been focused on physical metallurgy of metallic materials, including plastic deformation, static and dynamic recrystallization, liquid-solid and solid-solid phase transformations and precipitation. He has been investigating various steel grades, aluminium, magnesium and titanium alloys, nickel-based nanocrystalline materials, composite materials, metallic glasses and shape memory alloys. Dr Cizek has also a keen interest in implementation of modern electron microscopy and microanalysis experimental methods for the study of metallic materials.
