Biography

Krystian Wlodarczyk graduated with an MSc in electronics and telecommunications at the Wroclaw University of Technology, Poland, in 2006. Then, he joined the Lasers and Photonics Applications group at Heriot-Watt University as a PhD student. Krystian’s research studies involve CO2 laser smoothing of glass materials and investigating new applications for this process. Currently, he is working on the fabrication of sub-millimetre-wide resonator mirrors for planar waveguide lasers by localized vaporization of a glass.
