Scientific activities:

In the area of ​​my main scientific interests there are issues regarding the modification of the surface of biomaterials due to their physicochemical and electrochemical properties and the degree of bacterial adhesion. My research is particularly focused on dental and orthodontic materials. The study of the surface of materials is mainly based on the research possibilities of AFM microscopy. I am also involved in popularizing science.
