Simas Butkus

Dr. Simas Butkus is a Researcher at the Laser Research Center (LRC), part of Vilnius University. His work focuses on femtosecond laser micromachining, laser light-matter interaction, and laser beam propagation effects, with applications in materials processing and biomedical engineering.

• Researcher at Vilnius University since 2014
• Specializes in ultrafast laser technologies

Research Interests include:

• Femtosecond laser ablation for metals and transparent materials
• Surface structuring and selective etching
• Advanced microfabrication techniques
• Laser processing of polymers and biocompatible substrates
• Pulse burst modulation for industrial applications

Publications demonstrate expertise in laser-material interactions, spanning topics from high-precision stainless steel marking to 3D scaffold fabrication for medical use, with a focus on transparent materials and micron-scale structuring.
