Later, during my Master\u2019s degree studies and doctoral studies in materials engineering, I have learnt how to design features of nature-inspired materials through a proper selection of their chemical composition and structure. The knowledge of materials structure and features allows me for cooperating with professional implantologists, so active participation in designing and manufacturing biomaterials for the sake of medicine. Thanks to the knowledge of biochemical processes in the human body I have learnt during my biomedical engineering studies and the knowledge in the field of materials science and engineering, I am able to apply innovative modifications to the dental implant surfaces, so they can meet the requirements of the contemporary stomatology.<\/p>\n For me, an engineer is not only a title but a person searching for and finding answers to the asked questions. Within my original dental workshops called \u201cPi\u0119kny U\u015amiech\u201d (Beautiful Smile), I promote engineering occupations, in particular materials science and engineering, in the youngest. I am a scientist and also a mother. Every day I try to pass my passion for engineering and technology sciences on to my daughters.<\/p>\n Patrycja Osak, MSc Eng., finishes her doctoral degree under the supervision of Bo\u017cena \u0141osiewicz, PhD, DSc, Assoc.

After 1st cycle studies in Physics, I decided to expand my array of skills during the studies in materials engineering and include technical skills. It is a field combining physics, chemistry, and technology allowing me to take up new challenges: work to discover and design new, better materials as well as methods of its studies.<\/p>\n Scientifically, I deal with studies on a new group of liquid crystals that have a vast use for the dynamically developing technology, e.g. screens on which you can read this article! I conduct the research along with another scientist \u2013 my great supervisor Katarzyna Merkel, PhD, DSc, Assoc. Prof.,<\/a> within the project \u201cThe role of intermolecular interactions, molecular bend angle and biaxiality in stabilizing the structure of the twist-bend phase liquid crystal materials\u201d (Preludium BIS2, No. 2020\/39\/O\/ST5\/03460) supported by the National Science Centre.<\/p>\n
\nEvery year more and more female students enrol in our studies. It used to be unthinkable, because studying science and technology was considered “a male line of studies”. In 2014, a campaign was launched in the UK to promote the study of engineering among women: International Women in Engineering Day.
\nThere are many beautiful and smart women in our ranks who belong to a group of engineers. We have asked some of them why they chose that particular career path. We encourage you to get acquainted with the stories of their life choices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=”yes”][vc_column][vc_tta_tabs][vc_tta_section title=”PATRYCJA OSAK, MSc Eng.” tab_id=”1630400799283-99323747-9967″][vc_row_inner disable_element=”yes”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_column_text]![\"\"](\"https:\/\/us.edu.pl\/wydzial\/wnst\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/Bez-kategorii\/Patrycja_kw-300x300.jpg\")
