PEOPLE

Who’s who in Biomechanics and Polymer Mechanics group:

Principal Investigator:

• Assoc. Prof. Andrzej Mlyniec PhD DSc

Research Assistants, Postdoctoral researchers and PhD Students:

	Martyna Ekiert PhD,  is teaching & research assistant at the Department of Robotics and Mechatronics at AGH University of Science and Technology. Her scientific interests are focused on the biomechanics of soft tissues, especially influence of temperature on viscoelastic properties of tendons. Her research is also related to computational chemomechanical modeling for life science application and biomaterials stability issues. Ms Ekiert is also a principal investigator of project Chemomechanical modeling of the tendon hierarchical structure subjected to freezing at the edge of the water – ice phase transition (project granted by The National Science Centre, nr 2015/17/N/ST7/03729).
	Sylwia Dabrowska PhD,  post-doc at our Laboratory (Department of Robotics and Mechatronics at AGH University of Science and Technology).  Her research is related to experimental biomechanics of soft tissues. Sylwia is involved in Opus project entitled; “Electro-chemo-mechanics of tendon failure – the role of interfascicular matrix and calcium and phosphate ions in tendon biomechanics “
	Konrad Kloch MSc, a Ph.D. student at the Department of Robotics and Mechatronics at the AGH University of Science and Technology in Kraków. His research is focused on the issue of stability of polymeric materials. He’s interested in both experiment and modeling (FEA) in this field.
	Marek Kalemba MSc, a PhD student at the Department of Robotics and Mechatronics at the AGH University of Science and Technology in Kraków. His research is related to bio-electro-mechanics of biomaterials.

Our research is conducted

Our research is funded by The National Science Centre (NCN, Poland) via research OPUS (“Electro-chemo-mechanics of tendon failure – the role of interfascicular matrix and calcium and phosphate ions in tendon biomechanics “) and Preludium (“Chemomechanical modeling of the tendon hierarchical structure subjected to freezing at the edge of the water – ice phase transition”) grants.
