Dr. Grzegorz Greczynski

Biography

Grzegorz Greczynski is a Professor and Head of the Fundamental Science Thin Films unit at Linköping University, Sweden. His expertise lies in high power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). His current research interests include low-energy ion/surface interactions, nanostructure control, and the low-temperature growth of transition-metal-based nitride, boride, and carbide thin films through physical vapor deposition techniques. Greczynski has developed nondestructive analysis methods that aim to improve the reliability of XPS techniques. He received his MSc in Materials Physics from the University of Science and Technology in Krakow, Poland in 1997, followed by a PhD in Materials Physics from Linköping University in 2001. His doctoral thesis was supervised by Prof. William R. Salaneck with Prof. Hans Siegbahn as opponent. Greczynski has experience in industry, having worked for Thin Film Electronics AB and Chemfilt Ionsputtering AB, where he contributed to the development of novel sputtering techniques. He returned to academia in 2009 as an Assistant Professor in Thin Film Physics and has collaborated with notable professors from renowned institutions such as the University of Illinois and Aachen University. In 2018, he was nominated as a Fellow of the American Vacuum Society for his significant contributions to nondestructive XPS surface analysis and the development of advanced HiPIMS techniques.
