Anna Jedrzejczak obtained her PhD degree in Material Science from Lodz University of Technology (LUT) in 2015. Since 2016, she has been working at the Institute of Materials Science and Engineering, LUT, where she conducts scientific research and works as a lecturer. In 2019, she moved to Canada to perform a one year PostDoc fellowship at Montreal Polytechnique, at the Engineering Physics Department. Her research activities are mainly focused on using plasma techniques for surface modification of materials, especially for the needs of medicine. She has an extensive experience particularly in the production of the diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings and doped - DLC coatings using the radio frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition method (RF PECVD). Currently she is mostly focused on conducting research on the modification of surface topography of titanium alloys in fluorine-based plasma within the framework of the research project financed by the National Science Center, Poland.
