Jacek Olender

Jacek Olender is an Adjunct Professor affiliated with the Kelvin Centre at the University of Glasgow's School of Culture & Creative Arts. His research focuses on interdisciplinary applications of materials science to heritage conservation, particularly gecko-inspired dry adhesives for preserving historical artifacts. He also contributes to archaeological studies, including the authentication of ancient coins.

His recent work explores the iterative design of adhesives tailored for heritage conservation challenges, combining empirical testing with computational modeling. Collaborations involve experts in materials science and archaeology to bridge technical innovation with cultural preservation needs. Notably, his 2022 study provided novel insights into authenticating Roman-era coins through multidisciplinary analysis.
