Prof. Jaros\u0142aw Serafi\u0144czuk, a member of the Advanced Semiconductor Epitaxy Research Group, has been awarded the title of professor in the fields of materials engineering and automation, electronics, electrical engineering, and space technologies. Prof. Serafi\u0144czuk combines his work at \u0141ukasiewicz \u2013 PORT with his duties at Wroc\u0142aw University of Science and Technology, in the Department of Nanometrology at the Faculty of Electronics, Photonics and Microsystems, and as he says himself, receiving the professorial title has not slowed him down. He specializes in high-resolution X-ray diffraction in materials research. This is one of the fundamental analytical methods, allowing scientists to observe changes in fabricated materials on a scale smaller than the distance between atoms.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\u201cIn today\u2019s electronics, epitaxial layers \u2013 specially grown crystals \u2013 are widely used. X-ray diffraction is a key method for verifying whether the atoms in these materials are arranged as intended, or whether there are undesired deformations that may affect their functionality,\u201d explains Prof. Serafi\u0144czuk. \u201cEspecially in electronics and optoelectronics, we must work with materials of the highest quality.\u201d<\/p>

The professor is also interested in two-dimensional and perovskite materials, which enable further miniaturization of electronics. \u201cA scientist\u2019s work is, above all, about creating inventions and technologies that have a real impact on how we live,\u201d adds Jaros\u0142aw Serafi\u0144czuk.<\/p>

Initially, the researcher planned to study medicine. When that did not work out, he began studies in electronics and telecommunications. Today, he recalls with a smile: \u201cI always dreamed of becoming a doctor, and in the end I managed to fulfill that dream, although in a completely different field.\u201d He notes that during his PhD, there were only three X-ray diffractometers in Poland, one of them at Wroc\u0142aw University of Science and Technology. Shortly after completing his doctorate, Prof. Serafi\u0144czuk became head of the Wroc\u0142aw diffraction laboratory.<\/p>

\u201cAt the beginning of a scientific career, no one thinks about a professorship \u2013 it seems very distant. Then comes the PhD, the habilitation, and you still want to keep developing,\u201d says the professor.<\/p>

Combining work at \u0141ukasiewicz \u2013 PORT and at the university brings clear benefits \u2013 it makes it possible to find students and PhD candidates who may one day join the institute\u2019s research staff. \u201cWe have to pass knowledge on to young people so that they can continue to develop it,\u201d says the professor, who supervises PhD, engineering, and master\u2019s theses. He often tells his mentees: \u201cSeize opportunities when they appear. Success does not come immediately \u2013 it is the result of hard work and the ability to make use of the chances you get. If something interests you, don\u2019t be afraid to dive deeper and try your hand at it, because it is precisely through experimenting and boldly taking on challenges that you can build your future. When you do research, you are investing in yourself, you grow, you create your own track record \u2013 and as the scientist grows, so do their team, their university, their institute, and ultimately the entire community.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
